Christmas Day and I didn't get a gift for my wife since we were busy worrying about her. I picked up a few small things in the morning to bring her.
She actually says that she's happy I didn't bring her anything major since she didn't get me anything either. No biggie here, we manage.
I take a quick ride home to pick up a few things for her. I walk in the door and check the answering machine. It's my wife telling me that they are considering sending her home today if she can urinate on her own so I hurry back.
While we're waiting her half-sister, niece and sister's mom visit. It helps her greatly since she didn't want visitors because she expected to be released within a day of surgery but this is a bigger procedure than she anticipated. They stay for about an hour and a half leaving for dinner.
The nurse removed the installed catheter earlier and allowed my wife to walk around. My wife feels pain with every step she takes. It seems too soon to me to send her home but the doctors and residents agree that her mood would be elevated at home considering there is no additional treatment they can give her that prescriptions for medication won't do.
We go home. I pick up the prescribed pain medication and stool softener, as well as gauze and a topical anesthetic. She sleeps often because of the medication.
