Bandages come off!

9 pm on Friday night Dara is now in a regular room expecting to be discharged Saturday morning.  Above are a few pics of the days events.  Dara will be back to blogging in no time.

Enjoy the pics, thanks again for all the support.

This is how my head feels

But not how it really looks.

Dara's Doc's came by this morning to look in on her,  her bandages are off and her face looks great, nothing like this picture.  She is feeling better and she is off her IV and eating real food. 

We expect to go home sometime Saturday.  Johnny and Michelle F. went home today at 12:30pm.

Carole W.  leaves today.  Dara is doing terrific and we are gonna try and go for a walk around her unit in the next hour or so.

I have taken a picture of her with no bandage (beautiful) and a pic of her incision (yikes).  I will post those later.  Johnny and Michelle F were there when the bandages came off.  Johnny told Dara that the top of here ear was missing but her hair would probably cover it.  She did not fall for that, but I did see her reach up and touch her ear a second later to double check that her ear was still there.  Michelle F did not even blink when Dara's bandage came off, way to go Michelle.

There have been some questions about if we will be keeping Willie.  I can't speak for Dara but I did not like Willie when he was in Dara's head and I just don't want him around the house.  Who knows what he will try and do next, that no good Willie has got to go.

 Sometimes it is better to collect stories and friends and leave the souvenirs behind.
