Middle of the night post

She's feeling OK, sleeping OK, and using push-button drugs (it's called PCA, or patient-controlled analgesic -- she gets a steady flow of drugs into her epidural, and she can push a button on a little remote to get a little more every so often; if you push the button eleven times in a row, it only works the first time, which seems unfair). She's probably going to move to a new room tomorrow. She had some clear liquids today, like broths, jellos, soups, and juices. She's feeling more and more human.

Human plus a big hack across the ribcage, but human nonetheless. I don't really have much news to update, but I didn't want anyone to get the entirely unlikely thought that I might ever forget to update the blog. (No, really, I'm not defensive!)

Did y'all catch that swimming relay race? It seemed like awesome competition, until you realize they're doing fencing, judo, and taekwondo today, and all three of those might get five seconds of airtime total. If anyone finds video of the judo online, let me know, OK?
