Our first hospital run

Well, Sunday and Monday were fair days - not great. Weakness and discomfort but no more muscle spasms, thanks to our physical therapist. Bob started physical therapy on Monday - he can also go on his own on days he isn't scheduled. Yesterday he was checked by the surgeon, Dr. Denyer, who pulled his staples - Hooray! Because of his shortness of breath, he sent us to the hospital for X-rays of his lungs. He's a busy Dr., and we weren't sure how soon he would get to them, so we came back to Rexburg. We had been here for about a half hour and got a call to come back and have his chest drained. So we headed back to IF and met Dr. Denyer in the emergency room. He drained a quart of fluid around the lungs, and he felt so much better following that. Plus he slept pretty good; we were only up about four times - nothing major, just getting comfortable. He is doing better and better.

My greatest challenge is that he hasn't felt like doing laundry, which he took on 21 years ago when I started teaching.
