Post Op Day 1

Scott woke up in the middle of the night convinced someone was in our kitchen.  The dog definitely didn't seem to notice if someone was, but the creaks and groans Scott heard kept him up for about an hour.  I woke up to him completely tense beside me, holding his breath and straining to hear anything new.  We now know Loratab is unkind to Scott's mental health when he is coming off of anesthesia.

I took Scott's big pressure dressing off and the drain out this morning.  He's a little swollen, but other than that the site looks good.  He said it feels a little better now, but he's had a headache and been dizzy all day.  Most likely this is the effects of the anesthesia still wearing off in his system.  Fortunately he's slept most of the day away which seems to be the best thing for him right now.  Our neighbor's Emilio & Sara brought us dinner which was so kind and delicious.  They even included Scott's favorite desert - cheesecake.

Thank you for all the prayers!  I'm hoping Scott can get some more peaceful sleep tonight and feels a little better for tomorrow.
