TB seems to be recovering so much better than after the first surgery. Probably Dr. Farrell is right. It'll be less painful because he didn't have to make as much repairs the first time around. I think the only thing that troubles me is that now the percocet is making him itch, too.
We were both up really early this morning. TB wasn't in pain but couldn't lie flat on his back any longer. As for me, I was just suddenly wide awake. Later on, we would both nap.
It was pretty laid back most of the day until the late afternoon. Then David, our SIL, called looking for Michelle. He and the kids had been in a car accident.
Thankfully, none of them were hurt seriously. The car, though, was totalled.
David managed to contact Michelle and she and her friend Mandy drove to the ER ... and that's when they realized there was not enough car for all the people! Michelle called to ask if we could help by driving her and the kids home. Of course we could so we drove out to the hospital.
Michelle, Brandon, Ryan, Taylor and Mandy's youngest, Christina, piled into the van with us. Mandy and David went to get stuff out of the van.
Taylor looked at me and said very solemnly, "The car broke." I almost laughed except for the expression on her face. I think that this would be a scary experience for 3 little kids. Thank goodness no one was hurt badly!
Around dinnertime, TB began to run a low fever. The doctor told us that it would be a normal reaction to surgery. He prescribed Keflex for TB to take to prevent infection. Right now, TB's temperature is back down to about 99.
So far so good.

PAST: Mickey Mouse, rotary, cordless... what kind of phone did you have in your house, growing up?
We had one of the old standard table top phones. It was black and had a dial and an old fashioned receiver. It was heavier than the new plastic models. Our phone numbers had letters in them instead of numbers. Like, our phone number was BR3 somthing something. My grandmother's was JU4 blah blah blah. I liked those phones better than the plastic phones. The old ones just have more character! ;)
PRESENT: Describe your current relationship with mobile phone technology.
Well, I have one cell phone that I hardly ever turn on.
FUTURE: What do you suppose is next? Implanted cellular technology? Videophones? (Yeah, they've been promising that since just about forever, huh?)
Implanted cellular technology? Not for me, thanks! I?ll stick with videophones, maybe as small a screen as a wrist watch face. That would be pretty cool!
