Getting There


Gary came home from the hospital and basically slept when he wasn't complaining about itching (morphine makes you itch) on Wednesday. He slept pretty well for the first 4 hours, then couldn't get back to sleep that night.

He set up a meeting for today (Thurs) at 12:00 - 2:00 on Wednesday when he was on medication feeling pretty good. This morning, he was not feeling so well but we walked over to his office anyway. Me to continue on to the chemist to try to find the big, waterproof, thin stuff you put over a suture (I can't remember what it is called). We had been given one extra by the nurse and knew that would not be enough before his Dr.'s appointment next Wednesday.

He was pretty tired by 2:00 and came home and napped - but I got him up a couple of hours later so that he would sleep through the night.

So - very boring, just recuperating. His shoulder is pretty swollen and I don't even want to think about what they had to do to get it repaired - I am sure it is pretty traumatized.

He seems to be in worse shape today than yesterday - but pig headedly going into work tomorrow for a few hours.

We will see how it goes. Off to play on Saturday - that is ... if I decide I can drive and not kill us ...

Does Gary not know the meaning of "rest and recuperate"? Maybe you need to slip in some relaxation meds when he is not looking. We are thinking of you both.
