Scott has been quite adventurous today. So ambitious about life in fact, that he survived a trip to the hospital to get stuck with a needle AND a walk around the whole block (after a little coaxing), all without a nap. We are quite proud of him. He also managed to sit at the table to eat dinner last night AND tonight! He's comin' back folks, so look out!
I think he's doing so well and right on track for what I expected. However, Scott reported to me today on the ride to the hospital that he's a little frustrated with how "slow" his recovery is going. He thought by this far out (because a week is such a long time to recover from an almost 7hr surgery) he would be back to 90%, but he only feels like he's at about 30%. High hopes dashed upon the rocks for my poor ADD husband who hates to lay around for too long doing nothing. I keep reminding him that he'll get there. Right now it is just so hard for him though to not have the energy or the stomach to do daily activities he's so accustomed to. The "weirdness" and hot flashes continue, but don't seem to be as bad as they were a few days ago which is reassuring. His hoarse, 70yr old smoker voice seems to be getting better as well every day which is encouraging.
Scott's dad is staying with us and his mom is flying down tomorrow for a day or two, just to help keep Scott occupied and assist us with some projects around the house, while I start to go back to work. As I've said before, somebody's gotta make some money around here.
