I'll try to word this properly, but I'm actually lying beside my wife right now. The doctor gave us another day pass, so we decided to go to the place that most resembles home, the AIM apartment. I brought the laundry downstairs, and by the time I was back upstairs, Mony was sleeping. It's pretty hard work climbing two flights of stairs after hip surgery. As far as the hip drainage is concerned, it wasn't draining anymore. Ramona must have accidently pulled the draining tube out a little bit, so any drainage that came out was soaked up by her bandage, her leg, the floor, or her sandals. They took the hemovac out at lunch time today. Apparently it is very normal for the hemovac hose to accidently be pulled out a little too far. Anyway, the only thing we are really waiting for is to talk to the lung surgeon. We don't know which day that will be. Please keep praying, it is harder for Ramona to be in the hospital when she feels healthy than when she feels sick.

Waiting to see all the people in MB,
Earl

PS. When bone is removed it takes to 2-3 weeks to get the pathology report

Hey Ramona & Earl. It's wonderful to hear that you were able to go out and enjoy some normal life outside of the hospital. It's tough being in the hospital and toughest to be waiting for test results. In the meantime, stay positive and try not to think too much . Remember that you've got the support and love of family, friends, and those whose lives you've touched.
