Hello everyone; another good day, although Linda is experiencing some pain and discomfort as she becomes mentally alert. She is talking and sitting up, eating solids and watching a little tv. She remains very tired and does, from time to time, express confusion as to place and time. She has a swollen left arm that is puffy but does not cause her pain. The doctor evaluated the arm tonight with ultra sound and checked the pulse in the arm. All was ok with no indication of a clot. The hospital staff will monitor the arm through the night. They thought it might be a drainage problem as the arm had a blood pressure cuff on it all day and the arm was not used very much (as linda prefers her right arm and hand) and so they elevated the arm and will check on it frequently. The plan is to move her to a step down unit some time tomorrow, where she can begin to move around a little and visiting hours are more flexibly applied. Thanks, for your concern and for the e-mails and comments. Mandy read some more of the communcations to Linda today. She enjoyed them..John, Emma and Mandy
