A Long Week Later

We are home from surgery! The surgery was scheduled for 6 hours but lasted a little over 8 hrs. He came through with flying colors and even came home a day early. I do appreciate Marie, Janet, Jimmye Sue and Veronica for sitting with me during that long wait, it did make the time go faster. Overall the nurses were OK, just sometimes the right hand didn't know there was a left hand. We still have a long recovery period but he is walking a little without the walker and is cutting back on his pain pills, ( maybe I can use them)No driving, bending, lifting,stretching for at least a month, he will just have to watch a lot of TV and take naps:)He did get to come home Thursday and we were both glad to get home. A nice long nap without interruptions was a great thing. Our son came this weekend and he always provides entertainment when he is here. I bought him a "grabber" to reach those things that you drop...great entertainment to see who can pick up what:)
