Progress But a Rough Day

Another angiogram today.  Results still negative - not able to locate the bleed site. 

Tough day: hurting all over, throbbing head, nauseated, just uncomfortable and nowhere to go.  We are going to have some up and down days - up day tomorrow.  The physio came and took her for another little walk today.  She was stronger on her legs and walked a little faster.  There were five of us walking around.  Eilene, myself and 3 nurses: wheeling oxygen, IV's and the drain from her head - what a sight.

Lungs doing much better today; most of the fluid seems to have gone and the O2 mask has gone and back to a tube.

Fluid from her head was a little pink again today due to her activity, this is to be expected.  Apparently, blood sediments and starts to breakdown to be dissolved by the body.  When you're active it stirs the blood cells up and they mix with the fluid.
