Recovery and Vacation

Merry Christmas! We had a very nice one, even though Chris is still recovering. His surgery was on the 20th, and the doctor told us that it went as well as they could have hoped. The stent is in until January 9th, so that is causing most of the discomfort now. He has to take some pain meds, and he has a lifting restriction for 3 weeks (so it is good that he is on vacation right now). We both have this week off, so it has been nice having time to relax. But, all in all, he seems to be doing quite well - especially the past 2 days. We spent time with family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

procedure scheduled

Well, Chris' prcedure has been scheduled for 12/20. Since it is a bit more involved than they originally thought (a temporary stent will be placed in his ureter), he will need to spend a night or 2 in the hospital afterward.
