Thank you all for your well wishes for David. He came home after the outpatient surgery and he's doing better today. He had trouble breathing when he laid down in bed last night and I sat up with him most of the night making sure he was alright. Things simmered down finally after midnight but he slept in his office chair in the TV room. He has Tramadol for pain but said he hasn't felt any pain to warrant taking the pills yet. He amazes me.
He has a 3:30 appointment this afternoon with his ortho doctor who did the surgery. The doctor will check his handiwork and David will get the bandage changed and another appointment to get the staples out. David just wants to get rid of the arm sling and says he will ask the doctor about ditching it when he sees him today. Otherwise, he's doing quite well for a cantankerous old 70-year-old fart. So, I'll be back to posting my usual garbage.

i am so sorry i missed this! i am up to my eyeballs in puppy surgery drama. i hope David is feeling better soon!
Feel better soon. The hardest part is listening to the doc and resting.
Loved hearing the good news! Doesn't need the pills for pain?! My old fart is much younger and he'd be weeping and begging for the pills! You are a lucky gal! Get some rest, we need your [not] garbage postings!!
Leanna, what you post is in no way "garbage". Your site is one of my favorites.
I hope David heals well.
Take care.
