16/02/06 first steps

Well, tonight is an easier report!

The Little Woman had a good night's sleep last night, and felt a lot better. Medication is now right. She had a visit from the physio today, who asked her if she could stand and possibly manage a few steps. Typical of my girl - she walked half the length of the ward and back!

She did have a spell of sickness - but it was reverse peristalsis (she said she'd never been sick so effortlessly and painlessly!). Right after that, they took her off to X-ray for the scoliogram.

What can I say? Wow! There are gridlines on the film, and the vertical line through her neck runs straight down through the middle of her.. er.. pelvis. She's gonna be really pleased to put that up on the blog when she gets home!

She ate lunch and tea today and looks bright as a button (although the getting in and out of bed bit is no fun, she says - I probably wouldn't want to see how hard she has to work at this, but it looks like all the worst is behind us).

If anyone feels like visiting at the weekend, she feels well ready for visitors, and would welcome the diversion.

I'm gonna have a little celebratory glass of something nice!

'Night, folks
