Weekend update

Well, Paola is definitely on the road to recovery! This morning she and I took a long (well, for someone on a walker) walk. She's been able to take quasi-showers, and she's eating like a champ. She's been able to reduce her pain meds from every 4 hours to every 6, which means less waking up in the night to take medicine.

Yesterday she and her mom went to the ER because there was some drainage from one of the incisions, but the doctors told them that everything was fine. She's still regaining her strength, and she's still in pain, but she's doing great.

Paola is now answering her own cell phone so feel free to call her. Please don't drop by the house unannounced, but I'm sure Paola would love visitors. Just call her and see if there's a time that she'd be up for a visit.

I finally figured out how to post photos yesterday, so check them out. More to come! Also - as I'm sure many of y'all figured out - your comments weren't posting to the blog. Apparently the comments were in limbo waiting for the blog moderator (Paola) to "allow" them. Anyway, she got online the other day and did that, so the comments are finally showing up. I couldn't see them any sooner than y'all could, so I'm sorry that I didn't respond to the comments.

FYI, I'm returning to NYC Monday (tomorrow) night, so my days of blogging are about through. Once Paola's arms don't hurt her as much, she'll be able to resume blogging herself.
