I'm Coming Home, I've Done My Time

The nurses were happy to discharge Bob  today to the Hawthorn Suites in Ann Arbor. After that, the day was filled with shivering and major pain. There was a screw up with his pain med and so we got off schedule. I'm happy to report that after a shower, I got soaked trying to help, he is feeling much better. Now let's pray for sleep.

Bob in now on 12 medications, which seems unbelievable. We also didn't realize that he would gain weight, around 13 lbs. of supposed water weight. I hope that it's not catching.

I am sad to report that the surgeon continues to insist on 2 more weeks here in Ann Arbor. We won't make it home for Thanksgiving but maybe we'll be able to spend the Holiday with Bob's family in Chicago. We really miss Rilla and home but in the scheme of things, getting well is certainly the most important thing.

Well, I have to get up at 11:00pm and 3:00am for Bob's pain meds so I'm going to hit the sack now myself.
