“that feels better”

Dr. Friedman’s residents just took the compression bandage off Veronica’s head. She loudly and sharply said “Ah” which I thought meant that it was hurting more but she finished the sentence with “that feels better”.

Overnight the doctors and nurses continued to work on the right combination of pain medication. The medications seem to be starting to work. She is still in a lot of pain, but it doesn’t seem intense.

The doctors and nurses feel that she is continuing to recover as expected.
