I have resolved to do no more worrying. (About Mindy in the hospital, anyway. I make no such promises about anything else.) She’s in good hands, she has pain medication, Mark is with her, she’ll be okay. She’s staying there tonight and at least until she sees the doctor tomorrow. Then they’ll decide when she can go home. I hope she’s feeling better, I hope she’s not worried anymore. I don’t want her to be scared. The hard part is over. Easy for me to say, I know.
Mindy’s surgery went fine. She’s recovering. But at third hand (Mark told Mom, Mom told me), she had a rough night. What does that mean? Probably pain. I would expect some pain after surgery, but was this unexpected? More pain than usual? Different pain? Is it related to the infection? Mark hadn’t seen the doctor yet when Mom talked to him, so hopefully more information will be filtered down to me once that happens. She’s still in the hospital, so whatever it is, she’s in the right place. I just want to know if this is normal or not. I want to know that the doctors know what it is and are working on it.
I don’t want her to be in pain, and I don’t want her to be scared.
