Not So Merry Update
Hubby is still in the hospital. He's progressed from morphine to oxycontin so he's actually making a little more sense when he's conscious. He's still in some pain and has no appetite, so I've been coaxing him to eat at least a little bit. I've learned that Ensure can be your friend.
The therapist has him sitting in a chair for lunch and then a while after. Naturally, he isn't able to put any weight on his leg at all. We're waiting to be told when and where he'll be going for rehab. I'm afraid that he'll be in rehab for quite a while, but maybe things will settle down a little once he's there and is on a regular schedue.
I'm exhausted and naturally my back is acting up out of spite. Some of it is probably sitting and sleeping in the not-so-comfortable hospital chairs, some from staying tensed up and worried.
Hope to have some news tomorrow.
