Jan went in to surgery on Monday morning, April 13th, around 8:00AM. She was in for a little more than two hours. Afterwards, I met with the surgeon who told me that the surgery went perfectly. All his objectives for repairing the fractured vertibrae were met with success. This removed a great load off of me. Jan was returned to the ICU.
After she came out of the effects of the anestisia, she was told the HAD to get her up on her feet. Much to my amazment (and with a lot of help) she was able to sit up on the side of the bed, and stand up. It was painful and took a lot of energy, but she did it.
They attached her to a morphine pump that enabled her to dispense doses of it every 10 minutes by pressing a button. It was programmed so as not to allow her to consume too much. This stablized her pain. She rested for the rest of the day (with her bed in an inclinded position).
