The last few days have been a flurry of attendants: occupational therapy, physical therapy, visiting nurses, etc. Tashie is stronger every day, although she is still tired from the ordeal, and needs a lot of rest. She has to rouse herself at midnight and again at 6 am to take her antibiotics, which is surely a disruption to her REM sleep, but she's a sport.

She saw the surgeon this morning, Dr. Hansman. He is pleased with her progress, and removed the JP drain, which has been a huge relief.

Her major daily activities that are not directly connected with recovering are: chatting with brother Lal, and doing the NY Times crossword puzzle. She feels badly that she has not herself responded to messages, notes, calls, etc, but I have reminded her that she needs to conserve her energy for healing - she has a job to do!
