Sorry for the grainy cell phone picture.
They asked mom what she wanted to drink. Of course she said diet coke.
No, they only had diet pepsi.
She took it in a heartbeat.
All's right with the world now.
Hahaha!
She's not doing so great today. They cannot get her blood pressure to be normal. It has hovered right at 74/43 since her surgery. Even dipped into the 60's at one point. They think the anesthesia put her adrenal gland to sleep, so they are trying to jump start it hoping it will bring her pressure up. She cannot do any physical therapy until that happens. She is now a whole day behind schedule and that makes my dad nervous. The hospital did not bring him a recliner so he slept in a chair all night. I guess I should say he rested because he didn't get much sleep. That doesn't sit very well with me. He's 80 years old. I think they should have accomodated him better.
I put some brisket in the oven this morning. Loaded with onions, carrots, and celery. Tomato juice and beef broth. A few bay leaves. Made some potatoes and a salad when we got home and it was a nice comfort food dinner. My dad came home to shower and eat, but went back to mom's side. He won't leave her.
