She sounded SO positive and said that the care she has received from the docs and nurses has just been outstanding. She said she misses Tibbe something terrible, but is trying not to worry about him. For what she's been through, she seems to be doing *great*!  |

For me, the faster I gain control, the faster I am back on my feet. I do hope she has a speedy, pain free recovery. Tibbe will be so happy she's hugging him again. Thank you for the update. You're very sweet to share the info! |
Jeanie is always very positive, caring, and sweet. She switched yesterday from the pain pump to pills. She doesn't tolerate medication very well, and the infused medication was too strong for her; it did a better job controlling the pain, but she hated how she felt on it. The pills seem better, although a smaller dose more often would probably be better for her. Thanks everyone for thinking about and praying for Jeanie. She greatly appreciates it, and so do I.
