I can't even put into words how lucky we are feeling today.
Paul's surgery went well. The hernia on one side was WAY worse than what we thought. But he's been put back to normal and all stitched up. He has a 5" incision on each side of his lower abdomen.....but he's healing well.
His recovery has been nothing short of amazing. The pain is being controlled with his 2 Aleve/2 Extra Strength Tylenol regimen (no narcotic pain medication) and he's able to move around pretty well. He's been up walking the last two mornings.....around the block. He even managed to work for a couple of hours last night.....although he has STRICT rules (set by me) as to what he can and cannot do while he's there. The staff has also been informed.
We are so thankful that this has gone so smoothly and that he was able to get it taken care of so quickly without complications. I think he's getting a little bored hanging out at home all the time, but he knows how important it is to follow the rules for a complete recovery.
Now we are just waiting for him to get better so we can take off for a couple of days and get some "alone" time and some real rest and relaxation!
