I have an update on Margaret this morning. She isn't going to be released from the hospital today but will be released tomorrow or the next day to go to the rehab facility. Her surgeon does say it's okay for her to be released but she was running a temperature yesterday and her primary care physician is having her stay another day or maybe two. Her fever is gone today. Her spirits are good. They had her up sitting in a chair when I talked to her a little while ago. They've reduced the amount of pain medicine she's getting. She says she's not sure she's in less pain or just the reduction in the medicine that is making a difference. She can see a difference The rehab facility that they want her to go to has an opening coming up tomorrow so we're hoping the timing works out right. It's the Delmar Gardens place and a really good facility and it's fairly near Norm and all the kids. The intensive therapy will help her recovery. She just told me she wishes Norm had a bed in her room there at the hospital so he could just stay there with her. I believe he almost does! She also just promised me she will take her computer to Delmar Gardens with her.
