He's Home

I was able to bring Richard home from the hospital yesterday, he did not sleep well at all while he was there, tonight he is finally sleeping peacefully, I just had to wake him up to make sure he took his pain meds, I did not want him to sleep to long and wake up in terrible pain! He is getting up and around very well, he says once he is up it feels good to walk around a bit, it is just the getting up and back down that is hard. He has a two inch incision in his back and staples, the first night he was getting a lof of blood and fluid from it, but it looks pretty good now. He will have to be off work 6 weeks, but luckily that is convelesant leave so it is seperate from his regular leave time. He can not drive for two to three weeks, can not sit up for more than 45 minutes at a time right now, no house or garden work for awhile, but all in all he is doing good and seems well on the way to recovery. I am just happy he is home now where I can keep an eye on him and know he is okay.
