The Day Nurse told Dorothy that the Doctor wanted the tube removed. "Is it like removing a bandaid?" my sister asked. I decided to leave the room. Apparently the nurse smiled sweetly and yanked! When I returned to the room, my sister was sipping apple juice, her first real nourishment in nine days. It looked like there were 10 metres of tubing in the trash can.
"Today is only clear liquids, tomorrow will be thick liquids and the next day we will introduce solids" the nurse explained. With her body finally cooperating, my sister relaxed, releasing the accumulated tension from this past week. With luck, she should be home sometime this weekend.
