June 27th - Heather and I would like to sincerely thank everyone who sent messages and offered prayers during her hospital stay and recovery from surgery. Your kind words, thoughts, and support truly lifted her spirits and brought comfort during a challenging time. Heather feels incredibly grateful and blessed to have such thoughtful, caring people in her life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Heather came home on June 22nd. The first few days were pretty rough. Lots of pain and discomfort. It broke my heart to hear her crying. She was such a trooper and followed the surgeons instructions to move, walk, and listen to your body. On the 26th, we spoke with the surgeons office about some of her symptoms and they decided to see her. He said she was doing well and to expect some tough days, but reassured her that each day would get a bit better. The bonus was they took her staples out a few days earlier than planned - YAY. That helped a lot.
She is still having an issue with food, so we are adjusting her diet. The last two days she has set up "camp" in the living room so she and the dogs can watch TV and look out over the lake. The dogs haven't left her side.
We also celebrated Dad's 92nd birthday with a small gathering of family and friends. Heather wasn't able to join us, but she loved seeing the pictures.
