Post Surgery

My grandma returned to the nursing unit at around 4 pm. She feels very sleepy and has been sleeping soundly since then. It is good that she can get lots of rest. I hope her roommate can tolerate her constant snoring.

My grandma experiences very little pain and has not required any pain medication. She feels fine when she is lying down. However, she feels dizzy and nauseated when she is in an upright position. She was up twice to the bathroom trying to pass water, but was unsuccessful. This worries her as she does not want to have a catheter inserted. Her oxygen saturation is slightly low and is on oxygen.

My mom came home for the night and plans to return to the hospital at 6 am. because the doctors will make rounds between 6 am. and 7 am.
