Steve’s Surgery

March 10, 2023

Sorry I didn’t update earlier. I thought I could log in with my phone at the surgical center but I couldn’t make it work.

Everything went well.  He had a lot of pain after the surgery that took a while to get under control and his blood pressure crashed and he almost passed out.  But he’s home now and doing well on his pain meds.

I’m so glad to have Nathan and Meagan here to help me figure out his “ice girdle” and his compression socks.    It’s been quite a day!

Thanks so much for your prayers and concern.  I’ll write more on Monday.

    Thank you to everyone for your comments and sweet, encouraging words. It means so much.

    For those of you who said you are surprised he was home so early, I’m right there with you. I would have been very thankful if he had been kept overnight because it’s a little bit overwhelming doing all the things that medical people would do. But I guess that’s the way things are done these days so we made it work.

    He’s had a bit of a tough day today but I think we’re coming out on the other side.

    Again, thank you to each of you who took the time to comment. See you Monday!

    I’m sorry that Steve had a lot of pain after his surgery – I did too. But in a couple of days the pain from the surgery began to subside. I hope his pain meds will carry him through until that time. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

    Thanks for the update. I think Steve will be amazed at how quickly he feels better with the anterior incision. Glad your family is there to help out.

    I’m so glad things went well! I can’t believe he’s home already. I was in the hospital for two nights after mine! After a couple days things will get better really quickly. Praying the recovery goes smoothly. 🙏

    I am glad everything went smoothly, I still cannot they believe they sent him home the same day, like I said, I was in the hospital for 5 days after my replacement, I couldn’t imagine going home the same day as my surgery….

    So glad things went as well as they did. I can’t believe he’s home so soon. They really kick people out of the hospital quickly these days.

    I’ll be praying for continued recuperation with minimum pain.
