Mornin. Had to check in at 6am yesterday morning. Surgery was at 7:30 and we were headed home by 10 or 11. The going home time was a little fuzzy.
I'm on pain meds, but they don't help the pain from them pumping gas into the chest cavity to separate the organs for easier removal. But, the 2 days of pain they were predicting was pretty much gone by yesterday afternoon already. Now I just have pain in my right shoulder which is where the gas rises to. It goes away when I stay sitting down, but they say I have to get up and move around to make it dissipate faster. I thought I'd be drinking my meals for awhile, but the doc said resume my normal diet. I have and so far so goota'. I was worried vacation was going to be all bland no restaurants, but it looks like that won't be the case.
I printed TEMPORARILY CLOSED signs this morning for the doors so customers know I'm off the grid for awhile. Got a fire truck on the way that I have to take pictures of and measurements. Got guys from Exxon & "D" picking up their sign orders, I'll just show them where they are and let them do the loading. Everybody has been pretty understanding and willing to put off their jobs until I return. There's a few jobs I'd like to get done later, but before vacation. Cheryl & Jeff will do the lifting parts of the jobs so I stay under my 15 lb. limit.
Has been and will continue to be hot through the weekend they say. Already 82°f @ 9:13 am.
As WC would say, Life Is Good.
