Saturday Followup

We had a good follow-up visit with the surgeon on Thur. The staples are now removed and Mike can resume limited intake of ground beef, fiber, carbonated drinks and alcohol. He can also begin driving mid-next week with lifting limitations to 20 lbs for the next ~5 weeks.

One mildly humorous exchange occurred when they were discussing Mike's early hospital departure and having no pain meds since the day after surgery. The doctor called Mike "really motivated". He has no idea. I think Mike would consider it "winning!"

Anyway, Mike's return to work is now set for Mon, 3/21, and I think we're both looking forward to that step of normalcy.

We spent a couple of hours running errands yesterday and it was surprising how tired he became afterward and by bedtime. I think it just shows how this part of the process will take time--building up stamina and endurance.

The reality is that all is going so well and God is still good! Join us in thanking Him for the ridiculous amounts of blessings He gives each of us everyday!

Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!  Psalm 106:1
