I know you all are standing by with baited-breath wondering about the surgery this morning so today I am sending you a mid-day update. He was only in surgery about 90 minutes and we are awaiting a report from the surgeons. He was in terrible pain for about an hour or so after surgery. He is complaining of some bad pain in his right calf but there is no wound there and the main pain should be in his left buttocks. We put oils on his calf and did some skin brushing and massaging on it to try to relieve the pain. They got a shot of Dilaudid in him and within about 10 minutes he dropped off to sleep. He kept dozing and then waking up quite a bit. Then his lunch came and he ate most of it. I spoon fed him because I wanted to pamper him. He is so self-sufficient usually. I just wanted him to save all his energies for healing and I LOVE pampering my Sugar Bear! He has wires hanging all over him again and he hates that but to monitor his vital signs it is a must. Everything looks good from our standpoint and the wound vac is back at work and the output looks much healthier and happier.
Hopefully we will have an updated report for you tonight from the surgeon. Keep those awesome prayers going.
Love to you all!
P.S. A gorgeous orchid just arrived from the JCT (John Christner Trucking) family. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts, words, prayers and support. Your love is so much appreciated.
