Lawrence says: At exactly 10:30AM Phil time, the surgery repair that my mother underwent since 6:00Am this morning was eventually finished.
She was then brought shortly to the recovery room and stayed there until 2:25Pm. At exactly 2:30PM, she was inside her room up the 5th floor. Surgery went well, and the steel bar which the fist doctor who embedded it in her pelvic area was replaced because it was shorter than expected making the leg bone strain with the screws that caused them to slowly and gradually detached where they were supposed to be atached tightly.
Since she was highly morphined, she was experiencing delusions and hallucinations which actually, is normal for someone injected with morphine.
What we discovered was, her hands needed to be touched and held to keep her hands away from the tubes and wires suspended around her ( oxygen, catheter and the IV terminal for the pain medications. ) to make her still.
I asked my nephew, James to hold her hands and touch her forehead to ease her and give her assurance and comfort.
I have taken photos of my mom shortly after she was brought back to her room from the recovery room. I took some photos of her while squrming like a lost worm in the soil and james holding her hands and touching her forehead. What medications cannot do to comfort someone from drug effects, human touch can do so well!
Likewise, I took photos of the steel metal bar and its screws that went off the area where they were supposed to be tightly clasped and attached.
