Headaches, and eye-aches, and ache-aches, oh my!

Not much change since yesterday. She's chatting a little more, but we still sit in the dark as we chat because her eyes are so sensitive. Still no feeling her her last 2 fingers on her right hand.

She's been urged to get up and walk (with her walker) but she does so with her eyes closed and is extremely dizzy for a long time afterwards. We're realizing more and more that this recovery is going to be long and difficult. We still don't know when she'll be discharged from the hospital, but when she is we'll have her stay with her mom and I'll keep the kids at our place for maybe a few weeks. She did not like the spacey feel of the pain pills, and today is trying to get by without the oxycodone. We'll see how this goes.

We got got audio books for her, and last night she got laughing so hard she hurt herself while listening to the comedian Brian Regan. Today she's finally feeling well enough to speak on the phone a little and is speaking a lot more like herself. Her spirit is strong, but it'll take a little while for her body to catch up.

I've been trying to convince her that her surgery was taken some of her memories, like her extreme love of football, large flat televisions, and video games, but she's not buying it. Oh well.
