Driving the nurses batty

This is Brian with another update on Wendi. At the rate she's going, I think the nurses are personally going to insist that she be moved out of the ICU. She's driving them batty. She's moving around quite a bit more, rolling around in the hospital bed and trying to sit and stand up. There's nothing wrong with any of that; the nurses have been helping her do all that, but she's trying to move around when they're not there — bad idea when she has about half a dozen tubes and IV lines in her.

Wendi has always been very self-reliant, and I was certainly seeing that today. Since she is still on a bunch of medications, she is not entirely coherent, but she is improving slowly. From a physical standpoint, she seems to be making excellent progress. She wants to leave the hospital entirely, but she can't even leave the ICU until her doctor is happy with the condition of her kidneys. My suspicion is that she will end up spending most or all of her remaining hospital recovery time in the ICU. Time will tell.
