Day One Post Surgery

Hi all,

Thank you so much for all the prayer support from far away places.  It continues to be a source of strength and comfort.

I was back at the hospital before the night shift went home this AM.  It was a tough night/morning getting the pain under control, but by this afternoon Jim seems to be more comfortable.  He ate breakfast and has gotten up briefly a couple times.  He recognized me, knew where he was and what year it was.  He even joked that it was 1942 before giving the correct year.  Dr. Bernard stopped by as did the PA.  Both said he looked good.  As you might expect there is still swelling which will impact several areas for a while.  Nurses have said that this is normal and will be monitored.  Most often once the swelling goes down things clear up.

He is receiving the best possible care he can get right now.  We will wait to see the pathology results which will determine followup care and treatment.
