Surgery today -- can't sleep

You'll know you're getting better when you get up from the chair and forget you are tethered to a sack of pee in a bucket.
I had such a short attention span I needed to clip it to my belt so it would stay with me.
Good luck
Jeff

Well Eric is going to have good home care! Some brotherly ribbing I would imagine!

Cheers, Doug

Getting your beer should give him good exercise!

Cheers, Doug

Great News!!!! Take it easy and don't fight with the hose! (It will win!)

Heal and before you know it, you will be back at it. Keep up the walking between the naps.

Don

Glad to hear he's home. You should encourage him to walk.

The distance between his recliner and the fridge is likely just the right distance and a beer about the right amount of weight to carry...

Great, sounds like he's following on the right path!

Cheers, Doug

Eric. It sounds like you are doing very well in such a short space of time. Great news.

Yes, there is nothing like sleeping in your own bed. I found the single hospital bed so uncomfortable.

All the best to you on a smooth and speedy recovery.

He's doing great took a shower on his own, ate eggs n toast I made him, been walking and his dogs convinced me to walk them!
