2 Weeks down, 4 to go!

When we went into this surgery our main concern was getting through it. Somehow it didn't dawn on any of us that 6 weeks is a long time to stay either in bed or reclined in some way. That's the most difficult thing right now.

I haven't updated in awhile because things are moving along pretty expectantly. There have been a couple of rough spots - restless nights, a bout with a bed sore that wanted to cause havoc (under control now), a few meltdowns out of boredom, but all in all, we're very thankful for the smooth recovery.

David's hip pain appears to be better already. We are hopeful that continues. He's still having pain in his legs, and we're not sure where that's coming from. Obviously, he's not able to move a lot so it will be interesting to see if this continues once he's back in his regular wheelchair. I told him this evening I thought he'd be almost back to normal if he could get in his regular wheelchair and he said "no". So I take it that he's not as back up to snuff as he appears to be because knowing him he would have jumped on that if he was feeling back to normal. He's really not much of a complainer so it's hard sometimes to see how rough it is on him. I guess that's why we listen to doctors orders!
