Thursday



Greg and I arrived at my parent's house from the hospital just before 7 last evening. He was running a fever, had elevated blood pressure and was in intense pain. Getting his pain meds was a journey in and of itself. He ended up being 4 hours late on a dose because of paperwork/computer/authorization issues. This is the same government so many people want to take over our health care system! They need to live a nightmare or two like we have to see the "benefit" in it's true light...another soap box for another day.

As the night progressed, his temperature returned to normal and he finally slept better. Greg rates his pain at 6 rather than the 10-12 he had been ranking it. Praise God for that blessing. I hope it continues. He wants to try and go home today. There really is no place like home for quality rest, a good shower and real food with actual texture and flavor! Those are the things everyone wants while in the hospital. We are so grateful for the support and prayers offered us while he recovers. Once we are home, I will post some photos of his ankle. My nephews would love to play with the hardware....it looks like a really cool erector set of toys!
