General anaesthetic is a bitch.
Recovery after surgery can be nauseating and lengthy.
But, Martha had a "spinal" for her foot surgery. Which means no post-operative grogginess. No nausea. No pain. And best of all, as soon as you're back in your hospital room, you can eat immediately.
As soon as Martha had been wheeled into her room after the procedure I was there to check on her.
"How are you doing, Honey?" I said.
"I'm great," she replied, "But do you think you could go downstairs and get me a chocolate donut and a coffee?"
After "textbook successful" surgery, the patient is doing well. Very well! (Comments welcome)
Photo: The cast is huge. And needs to stay on for two weeks. It will be replaced by a smaller one which will remain on for another month after that.
