The “D” Word

Discharge. It’s the only word on anyone’s mind. Jen is getting excellent care from all of her teams. Her nurses, Internal Medicine, Surgical, Anesthesiology, and Palliative doctors have been great. But the only word on their minds now, is the big “D.”

The only things in the way are the results from ultrasounds of both Jen’s legs (to rule out blood clots), getting some of the excess fluid off her lower body, getting her surgical pain under control, a sign-off from physical therapy and a scan of her left shoulder.

Jen injured her shoulder weeks ago. It’s not getting better. Out of caution, Dr. Wodajo ordered X-rays and a bone scan of the joint.
