ON YOUR FEET, SOLDIER!

Report on the Patient's Progress From the Man on the Scene

The nurses are astounded with Stacey's progress. She took a stroll around the bed in the afternoon and sat down in a chair. She can lift her leg off the bed when it is out of the passive exercise contraption, which she is not supposed to be able to do. The doctor thought she had remarkable strength. I am not surprised, however, because she can kick my ass.

She got a surprise call from an out-of-town friend. Stacey was buoyed to the extreme by the call, but was disappointed because Stace thought that being under Miss Emma's spell at the time made her somewhat incoherent.

"Miss Emma"?

What a lovely way to say "morphine." I love it!

Glad she is recovering so well!

Hurray!

Way to go Stace! Is the hospital food so bad that you are determined to get out there quicker? I am thrilled of your progress - just don't let the boss know as he may expect you back sooner. Don't overdo the walking and just lie back and enjoy all the attention. (((hugs)))
