Rcovery Day 5

Dad struggled with pain quite a bit yesterday, but is doing some better today.  His menu options have expanded again, but he is still taking it slow and does not have much of an appetite.  His gut is still under repair. 
We weren't here long this morning when Dad said, "wow, I really stink."  We couldn't help but agree.  Our nurse Cherrie got him prepped and sent him to the showers.  He got a good scrubbing and is now in pajama pants instead of that breezy hospital gown.

The only attachments Dad still has are one stomach drain and an IV port. His stomach drain is supposed to be removed this afternoon.  He's still using a walker due to the pain medication, but his speed makes him look like he's going somewhere.

Dr. Visser came by this morning for a consultation, but not what you might expect.  He wanted to review the electrical schematic Dad had done for him for his home project.  He's very pleased with Dad's progress.

Thanks again for the help back home which is making it possible for me to be here with my folks.  Cindi is handling things at home(including changing flat tires) while Jessica, Bill and Mike continue to book more work at the shop.  More prayers answered.
