Post-Surgical Pain

Becca has had a big-A splitter ever since surgery. Thank the anesthesiologist and nurse brigade for putting her in a recliner instead of the reclined position. No medication has stopped the pain or the nausea. She's boney bones right now, which is a little scary (not that the whole deal isn't). So after a 14 hour day in the city yesterday, one hour and 45 minutes of which were spent in traffic (thankfully she slept through), she's headed back to UCSF with Janet and Norman for a blood patch to alleviate the pain. And I'm headed to Abby's class play. If you want to dig deeper into what's behind the pain and the relief, go here:
