This is July 13, 2013. This was the day after my ICD surgery. It was mostly more of the same. We spent a lot of the day in the sun room which was right down from my room. Cap had already spent a lot of time there during my stay. Even though every day was becoming the same, I was becoming more and more aware of what was going on and asking lots of questions.
I was recovering much quicker than anyone was anticipating. After the first week of being there everyone was thankful I was alive. Approaching the end of the second week, the questions were "What had happened? Why did it happen? What was going to happen next? What was life going to look like after this?"
Nobody knew if I was going to be able to take care of myself, let alone take care of the kids and the household. Would Bryce be able to go back to work? Was I going to need on going rehabilitation in a facility for a couple of months or someone in house with us? There were so many questions, but we had to take it one step at a time.
I was also able to start nursing Tuolumne again during the day when she was at the hospital. Late this night I was moved from ICU to a regular hospital room. From this night forward, I can write a lot from my own memories and not second hand stories from my family.
