An early start today - 4:45AM - to have the dressing changed (and the wound admired - "look how small that is!") and a walk down the hall under the nurse's supervision (Kay seems to have it down,with crutches or walker, but the head nurse was called in to scold her about freelancing out of bed to go to the bathroom; they don't want any falls on their watch).
We are pretty sure Kay will be checking out of the hospital this afternoon. At some point yesterday morning the mood shifted from warm "don't worry, you are welcome here forever" to the chillier "here's what needs to happen for you to get out of here on Thursday." Still very friendly, but good to have the encouragement though we weren't really thinking of staying... (Kay has a private room....private except for me sleeping on a pullout cot contraption under the window).
Kay says: "there's a lot I would describe if my brain wasn't so foggy." She'll be back online soon.
