Mom is up and around and is able to do a lot for herself now, though she does wear out quickly.  Two days ago she walked out to the end of the driveway and back. The anesthesia fog is lifting but she is still having trouble regulating body temperature (a result of induced hypothermia during surgery). 

She is really progressing well and her ability to handle the pain and frustration of the entire situation is truly amazing.

She does take 1-2 short naps every day but is up for taking phone calls when awake. Feel free to contact her by text to see if she is up for a conversation. I am sure she would like to feel a bit more connected with the world.
