As we are waiting for anesthesia and the procedure to drain the air from Aubrey's chest, I asked Aubrey about several things that have happened over the last few days. It turns out that most of the yucky stuff she has gone through, she doesn't remember at all! She remembers everything leading up to surgery but not going to sleep in the OR. Then I asked her about the various things in the ICU and she has no memory of the breathing tube, chest tubes, femoral tube, neck tube, or the nurse that cared for her the first two days! She remembers the catheter a little bit. She remembers the ICU and her neighbor and the last nurse there. Those first days were pretty miserable so it makes my heart happy to know she doesn't remember. Aubrey has no fear going into this sedated procedure, by the way. She has been more herself today after a grumpy morning, despite not being allowed to eat.
