The past week has been pretty uneventful, but under the circumstances, I think that's a good thing. Steve's backside is a lot better, which means he's been able to sit up a lot more. That really helps his overall attitude; lying down all day and unable to do anything but watch TV was making him feel really miserable.
He's feeling well enough to be really bored, now. There's not much he can do -- short walks are good for him and last week a physical therapist came to the house and gave him an exercise routine to help strengthen his abdominal and leg muscles.
A couple of days a week, Gerry and Kevin come over and they play cards and kill a few hours. That's been a huge boost for Steve and something he looks forward to.
We have an appointment with an endocronologist tomorrow and see the surgeon on Friday. Steve should get the stitches out of his butt then and an evaluation of his recovery. He might get the OK to drive, which would at least give him some mobility. I will update the blog with news from that appointment.
The weather here has been beautiful and we are both missing Sunday's on the golf course. The other day, Steve told me I should go ahead and play golf without him. "I couldn't do that," I protested. "It wouldn't be right to run out on you and go play golf while you were stuck here." Besides, I said, you wouldn't do that if the situation was reversed. "Honestly," he said, "I might."
