Met mom at The Woodlands Hospital around 10 a.m. and the Radiology department got my dad back and the nurse assigned to my dad was much better. Atleast that round of tests are done. At around 1 p.m. I took dad on home.
I asked my dad about the procedure and he said he was awake the whole time. They gave him morphine for pain and they cut about three or four pieces out of his neck. He said it was very painful even with the morphine. His Blood Pressure showed he was in a lot of pain. 154/109. My dad has never swallowed a pill in his life, but by the time we had left he had taken 4 Hydrocodones to ease the pain in his neck.
They told us to watch him and report if we had any problems or go to the E.R. is anything arose.
Tomorrow is a big day, he is going in for surgery at 7 a.m. for the steroid shots in his neck and then he has a PetScan around 315.
