So, we all just saw Dad in the recovery room. He was in great spirits... GOOD DRUGS. His epidural is working well and he has been pressing the button as needed and maybe even a little more than needed :). He looks good, though he has a large tube coming out of his nose. He said it isn't bothering him, but he is also a little loopy right now. He has drainage tubes happening and his body is yellow from iodine. He still has his cool socks on and said he is looking forward to his Philmont beard that he will have by the time he exits the hospital.
Dad startled himself when he looked at the clock and said, "the last time I looked at that clock, it read a completely different time and that was just a couple minutes ago!" Sure Dad. He was also busily giving my brother Pat directions home, so he is pretty coherent.
Mom will be holding down the fort tonight and I will stay til after dinner sometime and then plan on being back for my mom to be able to get some rest (remember, they'll be waking him every hour). Lots of hospital trips this next week or so. Pray for a fast recovery!!
