Would you Believe

Steve wanted to go home today. 18 hours post- surgery, he was done being here, and ready to ride 150 miles home.  8 hours of surgery,  23 staples in the back of his neck. Not to mention the 5 hours spent in this throat.   What’s the problem.

 

The doctors came in and he pleaded his case.  They looked at each other, a bit in disbelieve I think, and laid out the criteria.

 

He must produce bowel sounds, done.  Pass gas, done. Eat solid food, no problem, pee, he could do that, walk the corridor without assistance , I almost had to run to keep up with him.  Score a top 10 Sudoku game, (my idea) done within ½ hour.   The docs put their heads together.  Verdict: No problem.

 

Well, just one problem.  Me. 

 

We are still in the hospital.  Not all of us are happy with that outcome, although, I think the doctors were relieved.

 

We comprised, one more night. 

 

So, tomorrow morning, off we go home.  I think he deserves a Dairy Queen  Blizzard reward on the way.
