and Dave is up and moving, kind of slowly, but he is moving. He has gone into the office the last couple of days and that has been good. He likes having something to do.
The pathology reports have come back, and it seems that all the bad stuff has been removed and there are “clean margins”. This is wonderful news, again. God is good. We meet with the surgeon a week from Monday to find out more specifics. In the meantime, we are enjoying this little bit of extra family time. It is a slower pace than we are used to, and that is just fine.
The first few days after surgery were pretty rough. Dave was in ALOT of pain. He really didn’t move from the couch, except to get to the bathroom, and as you can imagine, that was pretty traumatic. So, then it was a couple of pain pills and back to the couch for a few more hours before getting up to repeat the process over again.
Dave doesn’t have to return to full duty at work until Sept 9th, and that is great. We will find all sorts of things to fill our time. He still can’t lift anything over 5 pounds, and can’t exercise for several weeks, but he can tell me what needs to be done and he is a relentless taskmaster, so you can bet that the house will be in perfect order before he gets back to work.
It would be a good time for you to come and visit!
