Hospital report #5

Last night did not go very well. Dad went home at 9:30 to take care of Keillor and then I kept Mom up all night at the hospital. Nothing seemed to calm me down. Not even the offer of more food!

Dad got back to my room at about 7:30 this morning and everyone was aware that I was not in a good mood. Dr. Booker (my main ortho doctor) came to visit and he made the decision that some of the cast needed to be cut away to relieve swelling in my feet and to give my belly more room to expand.

The cuts combined with some mild pain medication seems to have helped. I'm trying to nap now...
