Greg's Recovery

Greg is doing well since his surger last Friday. We had our first outing today to Wal-Mart to find tape for his bandage! He was released from the hospital on Sunday morning and we went home. His mom, dad, and brother Mark were waiting at our house for us with dinner warmed up! After searching for a chair that Greg could actually sit in and get out of, I went back to Wal-Mart to pick up his pain medicines. He did great on Sunday and even went outside to walk around.

Earlier this week, he was battling some nasty side effects of oxycodone. The medicine was making him miserably nauseaous, but he has had no pain medicine since Wednesday and has reported that the nauseaousness has passed!

He is walking without the aid of the walker most of the time, but does use it to get out of bed first thing in the morning. The kids have been great with helping and are really on their best behavior....I'm sure that will pass some time in the next few days!

We are spending this weekend pretty much at home with a quick interruption Saturday night for the kids to go bowling with Granny!
