back with susan & craigViews: 35

all is well, we are finally enjoying the time here. angel is mostly laying low on the pullout chair in the living room, she says it’s more comfy than the hospital bed. susan had all this set up when we returned, so sweet. movies, and feeding her finicky tummy is mostly what’s been going on, which is good enough for me. i just gave her her bi-daily shot of lovenox, an anti-coagulant which will help dissolve her blood clot (i found out after previous entry that her clot ran the length of her thigh!), along with a daily dose of coumadin. she is getting better though, and on monday we’ll be back in aberdeen for a blood draw and hoping her level will be back to normal which is between 2 to 3. at discharge day it was 1.5.
man it feels like a long day, i’m beat down, and i left out too much in this post. maybe i’ll revisit this, or maybe i won’t hold my breath. dunno.

a note to self: write more often and be more light.
