102 2l

She was so happy last night with the ham and pots and mustard sauce for the ham - and sitting at the table - eating and talking and laughing with Tracy's folks and Aunt Rose - wonderful to see and be a part of!! Then we went back up to the spa and while she was getting changed into her pj's, her one remaining drain just literally fell out of her body; we were both shocked because 1) we thought it was sewed into her body and 2) the Docs have been talking about her going home with this drain. Much gnashing of teeth today because the consensus is the drain must be replaced but this can't happen until her blood coagulation level is manipulated down to a lower level (probably a couple of days) and then increased again after the drain insertion. And who knows how long all this will take. So this definitely was a 'quelle fromage' day - even with ham and pot leftovers.

    Lunda & Lorraine. I sure it is disappointing about the drain but as they say everything happens for a reason. When they give recognition for patience I am sure the two of you will be tied for that award. I am sure the meal was delicious and hopefully they will continie and no more tube.

    Glad to hear the dinner was a success! Nothing like sitting around, eating and laughing with friends and family. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. It must have been stunned silence when it fell out! Hopefully the drain will go back with little hoopla. Enjoy the next party meal!
    We had a big halibut meal here last night, with Thai curry and then a big game of Monopoly. Jonathan will be a real estate mogul!
    Love to you both. Your patience and long view is good, though at times it must be tempting to throw your hands in the air.
