He had severe pain yesterday but he had been self medicating before the surgery so he had a high tolerance for the pain meds. Tonight they had him pretty medicated so he sounded better but he was pretty loopy. He might get to come home tomorrow and I have everything all ready so all he has to do is come home and sit in his chair with the kitties. They miss him a lot. I think he might have a walker for awhile until he heals more. It will be good to have him home, I miss the snoring and complaining, lol.

The first week to ten days is quite painful, but after that it should start to calm, and become more tolerable. Kitty love always helps.

He came home yesterday and feels a bit better but very cranky, I think due to his inability to help himself. He can't shower for now. They came in and changed his dressing and checked on him today. His physical therapy starts Monday. I went and picked up his scripts after work last night and more tonight. He will feel better when he can shower and get off most of those meds. I'm just going to grin and bear it and remind him that he's cranky because he's sick.

My DH hates being sick...and is cranky whenever this occurs...I think you're right...maybe it's feeling vulnerable and unable to do it all...
hope he improves every day...
