Steve had a good night with the usual interrupted sleep you get in a hospital. He actually had one of the aides he had during his earlier surgery assigned to him for the night. John was one of our favorites and knowing he was looking after Steve allowed me to go home, see the kids, and get a better nights sleep in my own bed myself.
I was back at the hospital at 6:45 a.m. and just missed the visit from the surgical team. They had changed the packing material where Stanley used to be. Steve has already completed a couple of walks since I had saw him last night. He is looking a lot better and has a lot more energy than he did yesterday. He went for another walk after I arrived, hoping to relieve some bloating in his abdominal area. He is now on a clear liquid diet and had chicken broth and a bit of jello to kick things off. Having eaten and exercised he is taking a short nap.
Hi Carla,
ReplyDeleteReally good to hear that you managed to get home and sleep in your own bed last night. I know you didn't manage that during the first surgery..so that's good :-)
Tell Steve we're thinking of him, and good to hear he's up and about BUT slowly, slowly then he'll be home before he knows it.
Much luv to you both xxxx
