Surgery Day: Pain Management

Recovery begins... it starts with Pain management, mapped to a 1 to 10 scale. When we saw her for the first time, she was right about at an "8"....
After some meds, she was back down below a 5. She didn't make much eye contact, and she wasn't quite herself. Lori and I looked at each other, somewhat helpless.

For the next 7 hours, our Chloe began to come into focus, as she herself began to feel... more like herself.
