her new ward room. It's a little cooler but we found out that the air conditioning is broken in most if not all of the hospital. Her pain was manageable and she as alert for a good portion of the day. She also got her catheter and the remaining staples out (there were 48 in total). Her inscision looks really great, the doctors did an awesome job of ensuring it will not be noticeable. Right now she is sleeping soundly after a long day's work!
The social worker tells us that she will likely be in the hospital for a few weeks and then move into a rehabilitation facility that will likely focus on stroke survivors. We are not sure of the location of the center, but it looks like some of the best in the country are right here in Toronto so we are hoping she can stay in the city.
There's still no news on the cause of Marie's stroke. The main focuses for Marie right now are avoiding infection, getting enough rest, and working on her recovery program. This new unit will help her with that.
Ta-ta for now!
