Back to a Regular Room

Mom was moved out of the ICU and back to a regular room earlier this
afternoon.

They also took out many of the tubes and IVs (although there's still
an IV line available in her neck in case she needs it).

She was able to walk all the way to the new room. The nurse did
explain that she needed to continue focus on her breathing exercises,
and to move around when she could. That's how she'll earn her way out
of here!

For now, she's resting and has been sleeping intermittently. They
just brought her her PM pain pills, which she asked for as soon as she
awakened. So the pain's still there, and as the nurse explained, to
be able to fully do her breathing exercises and take deep breaths, she
needs to keep that pain to a minimum, which is why the pills.

She did have some lunch, focusing on the roll and some peaches (which
she ate all of). She'll likely do some more walking later on, and by
tomorrow she could be well on her way to getting out of her. Although
dad and I expect it will likely (and more sensibly) be Sunday.
