My dad has done a complete 180 degree turn. The first day after surgery I showed up at the hospital around 9am and spent the night. I observed so many freaking amazing things happen it has blown my mind. I say this because the first Dr we saw at Sadler Clinic was not even going to operate, so please keep that in mind when you read this….
The morning after surgery my dad was already saying “I’m hungry, when can I eat?” The pain that showed on his face 24/7 is under control. He is laughing and cutting up with the nurses, pretty much back to his old self. He is already getting up and out of bed, walking around. His kidneys are producing lots of urine which is a great sign. We played cards yesterday morning to pass the time before breakfast came because he just could not stop thinking about FOOD. He is ready to go home. He also has been wearing a patch to help with the nicotine. He has not really gripped about needing to go outside to smoke, I am super proud of him.
Mom stayed the night last night. I just called her and she gave me another great update. Dad saw two doctors yesterday. They said he was recovering great. They told him today he can start eating solid foods. As long as he tolerates that today he should be ready to go home on Saturday possibly.
Matt and I are going to visit for a little bit today.
