Jackie, thanks for that update about Ginger. I'm so sorry to hear that Ron has had a health scare during this time. How difficult for both of them. Thank doG they've got good friends and neighbors. Too funny about teasing Ron for finding a way to escape his nurse maid role!
I hope her recovery continues to go smoothly and quickly and that Ron is back home feeling better soon. Fingers crossed that he doesn't need anything major in terms of a surgery or anything. Pacemakers do wonders -- I know my FIL did much better after he got one.
Until Ginger can log in, please tell her we're still sending lots of strong vibes to both her and Ron, and if we were closer, we'd do whatever we could to help!
And speaking of recoveries, I can't remember if I posted that DH had his first post-op visit Wednesday. He saw the PA, not the surgeon. He took the steri-tape off his incision, and it looks creepy -- it's going to be a nasty scar (stitches are on the inside, but the skin is all puckered and jagged). DH was rather shocked at what it looked like. He didn't say anything to the PA, but he said if the surgeon was there, he would've been tempted to ask him, "What did you use to cut me open -- a big shard of glass? It looks like Dr. Frankenstein was my surgeon!" Probably a good thing the surgeon wasn't there!
He's been home all week, no pain meds since Tuesday, and didn't wear the sling to bed last night. He should be fine for work on Monday. The PA ordered some PT sessions, but he'll wait to start those in another week or two. Thanks for all your nice thoughts!
Gorgeous fall day here: bright sun, crisp morning, maybe reaching high 70's this afternoon. Days like this are rare here!
