Post-op Progress Report #3

11:30, August 16, 2008

Carolyn is looking good but says she feels weak. They have her on a chemical diet with everything , including her medications, coming through her IV line. Not much for tastiness but it does keep her hydrated and balances her electrolytes. She is able to chew ice chips to reduce her thirst and dry mouth. As I was leaving the nurse's aide was helping her stand up and walk around the unit. They try to get every patient to get some "floor time" to reduce the incidence of bed sores.

Please comment if you have any questions for me or Carolyn.
