One Week ...

Ron's surgery was a week ago this morning at 6:00 AM. I have just met with his Neuro Surgeon, Dr. Wellman, (get it?) and he said the patient is doing fantastic. Yesterday and last night were the absolute worst though ... the head pain is just fierce. He was given oxicontin, the Rush Limbaugh drug, and it ended up being a nightmare for all of us. He "tripped" until 2:00 this morning, trying to get out of bed, trying to get me into bed : ) and fighting sleep. At 10:00 the Doctor ordered another cat scan of his brain to see if perhaps the wound was bleeding. It was not. His physical therapy started yesterday morning and he's standing, walking, and exercising. Ron's sister, Karen, is my new best girlfriend. This chick is the perfect mix to this mingle. But excuse my selfishness if you can. All I can hope for at this point, is to hear Ron call out to me just one more time, "Please, I'm begging you, get into this bed"!
