Sontag Nacht

A lot of the same today.  Jodi is still dealing with a sore belly and muscle spasms in her back, all of which is expected.  She sure misses her diet dew or coke and food that doesn't come out of a tube.  She is on a light diet which consists of leberwurst, soup, mashed potatoes, carrots, gound turkey patty, bread and some desserts.  I think she would love to have a cheeseburger.  After talking to one of the doctors this morning, it sounds like she will be staying in the hospital until at least Wednesday, which sounds good to us.  They say that she can stay longer if she doesn't feel confortable to go on her own.  What a switch from our system.  She is still pretty sore so this sounded good to us since we don't want her to over do it.  She is still able to leave the hospital whenever she wants just as long as she checks out so they know where she will be.  We went for a little walk outside the main entrance tonight and when we walked back in we talked about how nervous she was the first time she walked through those doors.  Wow, what a difference a few days has made.  The anesthesiologist also came to her room this evening to visit.  We had a long talk about healthcare differences, cultural differences, families, etc.  This is turning out to be a most memorable trip not only for Jodi's behalf but for me also.
Later,
