They Put Our Bidness In The Street

Last Friday morning:

7:00 am - Dr. Abel and his Posse came in to our little hospital room and said, "why don't you guys go home?"

10:00 am - All the papers were in order, the room packed up, ready to roll out of there.
11:00 am
12:00 pm
1:00 pm
1:25 pm
1:49 pm
2:14 pm
2:20 pm
2:23 pm
2:28 pm
2:32 pm
2:34 pm
2:35 pm - And off we go.

~~~ Either Dead Or Home ~~~

The two hour ride from UVA home was tricky, but we made it. Ro is doing really well at home. She has a day bed in the living room and a night bed in her bedroom. She is managing pain with nothing more than children's Tylenol. When she's sitting or standing, she wears a hard torso brace, and that will be the case until the end of June. She hates the brace, and the brace hates her. It's a thing they have.

Sorry for the delay in updating. Things are pretty busy post-hospital. Lots of people have been inquiring, but none have put it quite like the email from mom:


Subject: Ro*

How are you all? Did she void on her own yet?
Happy Easter!
Are you ever going to blog again and tell folks Ro* is home?

They will think she is either dead or home!

Love, Mom*

So for any of you who were concerned about Ro's status upon this mortal coil, I can assure you that - who says "void"? She's doing great. Watching a boatload of TV, but great. As soon as she voids, I'll issue a press release.

I just voided a check. Void that I voided this morning shortly after I awoke from a slumber that was void of dreams, and had some coffee.

Jude says tell Mom to check FaceBook, where people report in every time they take a dumpsky.

My grandmother says void. Something about grandmothers. :) Glad to hear Ro is home and doing well!

LMP said...

Just so long as she doesn't void where prohibited...

Boomin' Granny said...

OK, OK, you guys! NURSES say VOID. At least it is a little more dignified than "Did you pee today?? Or "Does it burn when you piss?"
Ro*, I hope you can soon URINATE on your own.

Keith said...

Yep, we do like to do these things dignified.

Just make sure she doesn't void the damn warranty. Its kind of important at this stage of the game.

I think it's a special Miron sister lingo...

Boomin' Granny said...

Laulu, I thought you were my buddy, now you're picking on both me and your Mom!
Life is TOUGH!!

I think it's like an iPhone -- when you open the back it does void the warranty.
