surgery update
Mark had his hernia surgery on Monday. Turns out, it was 1) larger than anticipated, and 2) a double. Yup, that means that they found a second tear that needed fixing as well. I was beginning to go nuts...he went back for prep at 12:30, figuring that he'd be on the table at 1p, and done by 2p. Well, it was well after 3 before the doc came out to talk to me. I finally got back to the post-op/recovery room to see him around 4:15. He wouldn't rest until I got back there, and when I came in and gave him a kiss on the forehead, it was obvious how his body relaxed.
He's still in pretty ugly pain, and has swelling around the left groin area. Needless to say, he ain't a happy camper right now! Hasn't even ventured up stairs yet to our bedroom - we've been sleeping in the living room on the couches and/or easy chairs. Today is my first day back at the office, only b/c I've got SO much to do, and I'll be out of the office all day tomorrow at an event and out in the morning on Monday b/c of a dentist appt for me.
In a drugged-haze on Tuesday, Mark looks at me and says that we'll "just have to wait on Valentine's Day." Pshaw. Like I care about that? My valentine is that he's getting himself taken care of. Nothing more I need...
