Hi everyone. Doug Sr. came home from the hospital today. It felt like we were moving out, we had so much stuff to pack out. They send you home with everything but the kitchen sink....I really don't want to see the hospital bill!
He is still moving carefully and will have to have therapy, but is doing better and we just want to make sure he doesn't get any infection....if we can avoid that, the battle is won. He is in good spirits and was very glad to get out of the hospital.
Anyway, thanks for all the prayers and good wishes...he's on the mend, but won't be dancin' any jigs for a couple of days.

Doug Sr. Surgery...
For those of you who care...Doug had knee replacement surgery this morning. The doctor spoke with me after surgery and said he did really well. No complications. He also said his knee was REALLY worn out. We knew that, but its nice to have it confirmed. He is in recovery right now (1:45 pm Pacific time) and should be in his room within an hour. I will be glad to see him, however, I'd better not find out he asked the nurse for medical marijuana!
We had a little discussion about that prior to his going under and I advised him his life meant nothing to him IF he asked the nurses for that green weed. So, he has survived surgery and I hope he will not incur my wrath by trying to circumvent the legal system of drug use. Besides...he's getting morphine and is there any drug better than that? Not that I have found. If this is a dangling participle, please don't advise me! Personally, I love morphine and when it has been administered to me it was needed and legal!.
He also received a valium prior to going under the knife. I told him my mom would be soooooo jealous. I have never had valium, but I've heard really good things about it (including that it is fairly addictive). Maybe he'll get to bring some home and I could try one...just kidding...don't let the drug nazi (Allyson) see this..she will report me to the feds, the ASPCA and any other agency she can think of...plus prosecute me to the full extent of the law...so OF COURSE I would never use any other person's prescription medications. The consequences of using someone else's drugs could be worse than ripping the do not remove tags off your pillows.
So anyway, the screamer is alive , not quite kickin' yet, but he'll get well. He'll probably have a lousy few days and then its all downhill from there. I'm happy the surgery is over and now look forward to his recovery (hopefully with little or no whining). Take care all. Elaine
