Gerry, Charlie is doing oK. He still is a little paranoid about healing and checks his temperature several times a day. He has yet to take a shower, still sponge baths. His incisions really need a good shower. He tolerates me driving. He does have his keys back next Tuesday and we are counting down the days. I don't know if you saw in other thread but I more than likely will need a cardiac catheterization and stent. Seems like the chest pains I had the 2nd time he was in the hospital could have been real and I should have taken myself to the ER. I see the doctor on Tuesday at 7:45. I told him that would be his first chance to drive. He declined. it's to early in the morning. True love huh.
