Apologies for those of you with weak stomachs. If you don't like the looks of this, though, consider how the patient feels!
(And yessssss, I have his permission to post this picture, so get off my back, will ya?!)
Surgery, to remove the cerebellar lesion near the peduncle connecting to the brain stem, lasted about 13 hours on Wednesday, February 5, 2014.
On Friday, Rob got out of bed and walked!
On Sunday, he came home:
On Tuesday, he had his first shower in a week. (PHEW!!)
On Wednesday, February 12, 2014, he went double the prescribed amount between pain med doses.
Today is Valentine's Day, 2014, and I would like to say to my amazing, fearless husband who perseveres and rarely complains:
I'm so impressed with your courage and tenacity. While I worry, you keep plugging along in your rough recovery. I can hear your aches and see you in pain, but your standard line is, "I'm fine."
When I tried to lie down with you on the couch, but we couldn't manage it without hurting you, I went to bed. What did your silly @$$ do but crawl from the couch to the bed, in order to lie down with me.
Soon, this will all be behind us. Your hair will grow out again, you'll be off all those prescriptions... Hell, maybe you'll even drive again! Whatever happens, I'm here. I'll always be here for you.
I LOVE YOU, BABY!!
Fin.
