I want my children and grandchildren to know about what it was like when I was growing up, things I remember about my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents, too. For my grandchildren, that's their great, great great grandparents. Wow!! From my place in the middle of this, I think my progeny might be interested in the things I can remember, including some memories about them. So, here goes...

Bobby's surgery and recovery
Well, I think we're past the worst of it. Actually, today was the most painful his incision has been -- I think it's healing and stinging/itching.
I caught some sort of stomach mess and was really ill the day I brought him home--I came in and lay down on the couch and fell asleep. Yesterday was a repeat--just plain yucky. Today a little tired, but stomach OK. This evening, I think I may actually survive.
Meanwhile, I have been taking care of Bobby, who, lucky for me, slept a lot yesterday. We got out a few times today. He's taking a muscle relaxer and 1/2 a pain pill so he's a little "goobery" -- and I can definitely tell regular goobery from drug-induced goobery!
The pain in his leg emanating from his spine is gone. That was the purpose of the surgery, so we're grateful for that.
I think that's all.

That is good to hear. Sorry you got sick. That sucks. Let me know if I can do anything for you guys.
ReplyDeleteI didnt realize he was having his surgery so quickly. For some reason I thought it was still a few weeks away! Glad to hear he is healing nicely!
ReplyDeleteWhen we take him for his post-op check-up, he's going to have an MRI of the cervical spine--may need similar procedure there.
