Home at last….home at last….thank God Almighty I am home at last. (with apologies to the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.)
Today my ‘day’ surgery ended and I am home. That was a helluva ‘day’. I have been home for some five hours or so. In that time the Cowboys managed to find a way to loose a football game and I took a nap. Last night I was woken up no less than six times. Hospitals are never places to get a good night’s sleep. I napped, and woke disoriented. I was sleeping that deep. I also took care of some personal things as well. I trimmed the beard and shaved. Shaving is now an interesting experience. Some nerves were cut during the surgery so the underside of my chin is now numb, like dentist type numb. Yes, I can cut myself shaving and not even know it. I have to be careful, and pay close attention to what I am doing.
The routine tonight has been very quiet and peaceful. We had a small dinner and I did play with the kids some. We will put the kids to bed, then we both can collapse. I do not know what the future holds, but I am not afraid.
