We are back home for an hour now. The pain block worked great and she has zero discomfort right now. The doc said he did not have to cut as much as he thought, and he did not have to cut and reattach her bicep at all. So good news on all fronts.
Then I did a drug deal in the parking lot! She had a prescription for pain pills and they handed me a orange card. I drove over to the main entrance of the hospital, and parked in a space reserved for prescription pickup. The provided me a phone number and I called that and she said it would be $7.04 total. I did not have any pennies. so I gave them $7.25 and she handed them to me through the window. We did not even have to get out of the El Camino. Two people walking into the hospital waved and gave me a thumbs up on the Elky. People with excellent taste!
She is supposed to take a pain pill tonight before "going to bed" which will be done in the recliner for the next few nights.
She is resting comfortably for now.
