Lots of good news today. Queenee had a peripherally inserted central catheter put in today, which will save her left arm from becoming a pin cushion any more than it is already. Her chest tube was removed and all x-rays are negative. The orthopedic surgeon removed her cast this morning and had a look at her ankle and pronounced it just fine. There is no infection and it is healing as hoped. He also told her she won't be putting any weight on that foot for at least 6-8 weeks, which is going to be hard for her - she was thinking she'd be back at work in another week. Her new cast is a lovely bright blue. Her vitals are all stable and she is doing so well that she may be moved into a rehab room downstairs tomorrow!
The nurses all love her, which comes as no surprise to any of use who have seen her in recovery mode before. She is an excellent patient.
