Katie and I made the long trek down to the cafeteria to bring some lunch back up to the room, so that we could eat with Paula. Katie got turkey, green beens (that she really must find delightful, based on the vast number of time she's eaten them in the past few days), and red potatoes (which describes as having salt-lick qualities). I got a cheeseburger and onion rings (with a little ranch to dip in), and we got a lovely giant m&m cookie to share.
While we were eating, Paula's surgeon came by, and gave her the choice of being discharged today or tomorrow. She's decided that she wants to stay through tomorrow, giving her more time to practice walking around and becoming more independent. The best news of all, is that he wants her traveling home with us on Thursday (because, as he put it, she has access to doctors in Seattle and would rather have her traveling with "the youngsters"). So she's on the phone right now with Northwest, annoyed at how difficult it is to get handicap seating arranged (because while you can select your own seat online, they do not allow you to select handicap seating).
