Breathing tube came out at 4pm yesterday. My mom saw her this morning, early. She is in pain, as expected. Nurse said she should be up sitting in a chair today. I am sure they will have her walking by the end of the day.
The hospital has a decent motel across the road. Had a king-sized bed last night…slept like I was passed out.

Took her first stroll around ICU this morning. Will do that after each meal. I am headed to the cafeteria hoping for quesadillas.

Take your analysis scanner to look for the Quesadillas. I believe they’re friendly…

I think you were lucky. I was attacked by Quesadillas on a toxic planet in a green system. They put up a hell of a fight. I had to use plasma grenades in the end.

Good news. You must be exhausted.
I used Wikipedia to look up quesadilla (I’m a long way from Mexico). I now realise that it’s not a hostile alien creature, but a calzone (not a long way from Italy). In Britain, we’d call it a toasted cheese sandwich. Sadly, life’s not terribly exotic for English people .

I have heard about British food. I am afraid a chicken quesadilla with spicy pico de gallo might be too much for some Brits. 
I personally don’t care for super hot peppers so I stick to mild salsa. Trust me, it is much more than a cheese sandwich. Great, now my stomach is growling…I wonder if they will have quesadillas today…
All tubing now out! Unfortunately, I watched as the chest tube was removed…yikes! It was a lot more than expected. She will now have a much easier time when getting up to sit and walk.
One step at a time, we are getting closer to home.

Blood counts back to pre surgery levels. So relieved.
A woman in the next room did not do well. They lost her last night. So very sorry for the family.
Not sure I could cope with the whole life/death scenario day after day. I admire those who can.

Well that makes you want to count your blessings and get the heck outta there. Glad you both get to go home, when, Monday?

Hoping for Monday. She will still have the picc. Have to be trained in caring for that. Dr told me the team that does that is outside of the hospital and they are slow about arriving. Hope we don’t get stuck waiting on them.
How are things going for you and your son? My heart goes out to you. I know it is exhausting and draining.

Well, my son and I, live in two different places. He is with his Aunt in Las Vegas, I’m in a RV Park in Arizona. He doesn’t care about much anymore. He has a girlfriend, a computer, occasionally streams PUBG. He is never happy at all to see me. Doesn’t communicate very well. I can try to setup a time, place to see him, and it doesn’t matter to him if I drive all that way and he doesn’t get to our meeting place. He’s still healthy, I mean he is not bedridden or anything like that. We just don’t talk much.

I am so sorry. I am not real good communicator myself in stressful times. I am sure that deep inside, he knows you love him. Facing what he is going through can sometimes overwhelm our emotions. During the 3rd week of our ordeal, I felt myself begin to shut down. I was still smiling and talking but, I just couldn’t feel much. I think it will take some time to actually feel real relief. Time to heal from the emotional toll this has taken on both of us. My daughter copes with her phone and headphones. Buried herself in youtube videos, mostly Gordon Ramsey, lol. However, I know she wanted me there, even though she never really said it.
Never stop letting him know you care. I am sure it means more than he lets you know.
