Update #162

We are home. Sorry for not posting sooner.

Monday kicked off with PT and OT, including stairs to be sure that Dave would be able to get into the house. It took almost 45 minutes to get up and down two steps, but he made it, so home we went, carrying presciptions for Oxycodone, Valium and long-acting Morphine. The Oxy quickly morphed into Percocet when we realized that every pharmacy in the state of Ohio has Oxy on back order from the manufacturer - is that even possible? - and the combo is helping to keep Dave's pain around a 5. Hopefully, it will continue to subside in the next few days - follow-up with Dr. Archdeacon, the Orthopedic Surgeon, on Monday.

Aside from the pain, we are good, and it is great to be home. Baza seems to have survived the weekend without us (although I think our roommate Rachel may need a few days to recover from puppy-sitting), and we are being spoiled with homemade meals from people from our church for the next few days (yeah for a few more days before Dave realizes that I can't cook).

Praises for a successful surgery, and prayers for the pain to disappear. Love from both of us...
