"Good morning, Sugah, how did you sleep?"
"Much better than yesterday. I slept through until 6:30."
"How's the pain and nausea?"
"No nausea at all. Some discomfort in the usual places, but not too bad."
"Did the 'usual methods' help your situation?"
"That's very personal."
"Are you showing some improvement....you know, in the digestive processes?"
"Things are improving, but not as fast as I think they should. I may call Dr. Munoz later."
"What about the mineral oil?"
"I'm going to take that right after my bath."
"Bath? I thought you had to stick with showers because of your surgery."
"It's been more than two weeks, so baths are OK."
"So, to summarize, things are a lot better than 24 hours ago."
"Yes, a lot better."
