Team Schrank Exceeds All Recovery Expectations

Well, things are doing much better today. Yesterday was very difficult. I had a lot of pain management issues, with three completely out of control pain episodes. This morning, however, we are rocking the house. We started the day with 8 complete laps around the hospital. Dr. Pelzer came in this morning and plans to have me discharged tomorrow (Saturday). My energy level waxes and wanes throughout the day, but I’m trying to do as much as possible. I am excited how much more recovery we can manage today, and hopefully be home tomorrow! My discharge day is being determined by the neuro guys…when they took out the optic nerve my brain was very temporarily exposed and that is what they are monitoring to determine when I can go home. The drugs are making me ramble a bit…..Thanks for everyone’s good wishes, I received the cards from Tim’s kids and the Leafs!

  1. Tomorrow ! Yahoo – Home in time for Super Bowl sunday. You are truely a super hero/healer. Confident that the day will be a better one. You must have gotten a good night sleep – there will be nothing like a night's sleep in your own bed and Bosco will probably be right with you. I'm on my way to work – slept in an hour extra – felt good also.
