This is the real update

Kathy is shifting herself from bed to the porta toity! Also to a wheel chair with leg extentions! Though any miscalculation brings agony.
The lower left leg isn't responding as we wish and the pain response is inappropriate to the stimuli. A soft touch feels like burning acid. Small leg movements send sharp shooting nerve pain. It's better than no feeling at all, but when it isn't hurting it is just numb.
Still not able to move the toes on the left foot.

Surgery tomorrow. At this point it's just the left leg. She's getting a little bit of a fever. Worried about infection...

Kathy is obviously a rookie wheelchair operator.

She doesn't corner well.
At least these corners are being handled at a slower speed than the last one she didn't do well. Ouch! Did I really just write that?!? I hear "boo"s and hisses" from the gallery. Oh C'mon! I thought it! I wrote it!

I'm going to have her practice wheeling to the cafe, so I can get some lunch.
It's hard work watching her heal! Hurry and catch up Baby, I'm hungry!!!
