Thankyou Mark and Diane for sharing your experiences with us.
I'm sooo happy things are progressing so quickly and positively for you Diane. I hope and pray that this will continue and that your days as a Spiney will be well and truly over. Take care and I'm looking forward to the next update. Hucky

Diane and Mark,
I'm so relieved to hear these good reports. Lot's of sleeping with minimal meds seems to say a lot about pain and anxiety reduction. Take care and I'll see you soon (I hope).

Almost 2 days out...
Friday after lunch in Bogen.
Diane continues to do well. Still moving slowly, but gets up on own... seems to be pretty functional. She's off the pump and on oral meds... feeling more alert... All systems are go, so she can eat again.... mmmmmmm all that good hospital food! While she's relatively long of step, we are still only going up and down the hall... every few hours... not a lot of walking, but a reasonable amount at this stage. Everything still looks good. We are holding steady... recovery seems normal... above average from my perspective. All the best... more later, Mark
