I have a sketchy internet connection so I have to be brief. In a nutshell:
Dean's surgery was well, no complications.
Getting control of his pain level was a nightmare last night. Back pain and incision pain at first, then just incision pain. He's sleeping now. He's sat, stood and had a spongebath. Will be walking for the first time soon. Morphine pump was a joke, he has another name for it that I can't repeat. Staff at Yale is great. They're trying to adjust his meds from pump to elixers, as he's scheduled for discharge tomorrow. Meds making him dopey at the moment, but he's been totally coherent at other times. Think it will be fine when that incision heals up. I'll put something together for the surgical outcome forum when I can!
