She is doing much better today. She is just eating ice and wetting her mouth with a sponge right now. She got up and sat in a chair, she was in a lot of pain but the nurses said she must have a high tolerance to pain because most women would be screaming when sitting up and moving. She sat in the chair for a while, then stood up again and used a walker from the chair to the door of the room and back to bed. She said the walking is fine but the getting up and sitting back down hurts the most.
She has been mainly napping all day. But she did get a few visitors and she was able to talk for a while. My godmother Pat is staying with Moira tonight at the hospital. I just called her and she said the doctor came in. He is saying it will take about 7 days for him to get the biopsy results and figure out what the next steps are for recovery. We won't know until 7 days or so if and when chemo starts and for how long and what kind. He said the cyst was about 8 cm (the size of a cantaloupe). From my understanding after he left, mom got up again and was able to walk around some more, and she said it wasn't as painful getting up and down. So she is doing really well.
Oh and she is now in a one person room just across the hall from her last room.
7428.
Thank you for all your prayers and good thoughts, they are definitely helping.
