After the Surgery 5-19-08

Surgery Day, 5-19-08

Well, the surgery is behind us and the Dr. said it all went well. Merrel was back in his room by 10:30 but had to stay flat on his back until 2:30. He wanted to sit in his recliner and did OK but had quite a bit of pain and felt very tired. I left the hospital at 5:00. He called me at 8:00 to say he had asked for something for pain then he felt quite a bit better. The Dr. hasn't been in after the surgery but said he would be in tomorrow morning and could probably dismiss him. I will stand by again. Ron has been so faithful to spend his entire days at the hospital. Roger has called numerous times and Jan has been in and out as she could. He has had several visitors. Today Vicky, Sherlyn, G. J. and Ryan came to see him plus several folks from our church.

More next time!!!
