Belinda is doing well. She is sitting up in bed and working on a college assignment with her laptop. She is experiencing some pain and said it’s now a 4 or a 5. They just put toradol in her iv, and they said they can also do morphine if that doesn’t help it. She also gets a dose of tylenol regularly. She says the pain is in her chest and stomach and feels like pressure. Our heaviest cat at home is Nutmeg, and earlier she said it felt like she had five Nutmegs on her chest. If you know Nutmeg, you know that would be quite a bit of pressure!

She doesn’t get to drink until tomorrow, and she is looking forward to that. Her doctor did give permission for her to chew gum, and she has done that happily! She has also been watching a lot of food videos on tiktok, which I think must be making things worse but she says makes it better. She’s ready for chicken alfredo and chick fil a mostly, and says that when we get home and she can eat solids, she is going to bake a cake and eat it. First she planned to make a chocolate cake, and now she has decided it will be red velvet.

I napped a little for the last few hours, but it was the type where I was still aware every time someone came in the room, which was good so I was able to help Belinda.
