We are on our way home!!! Thanks for all your prayers...keep them coming because movement is really slow and when pain hits, it is really painful. Praying that the incision continues to heal and that twisting motion becomes easier!  ...cause golf season is coming soon and I want to be able to roll around and chase Aaron. We have learned so much more about the drains and the docs are hopeful that the drains will work great...but the fluid is more like sludge so it may take longer to go through the tube and we may have to have a different tube put in a few weeks from now...not abnormal for the dual drain setup.

Resting in my room

Things went well this evening. I am chilling on the 15th floor now....eating my clear liquids.  The outer drain is painful when I move and other than the sore throat, I don't think I am feeling the inside drain.  I am able to walk on my own...I feel the drain bag on my leg...it is big....cleaning it seems much easier than I was anticipating but we'll  see what tomorrow brings. Goodnight all.

Delay of game...

We checked in, got the ID bracelets, the lovely gown and socks, the monitors on the iv stuff ready to go...then we hit the first roadblock...trouble getting it in...so now two holes in hand that burn...met the anesthesiologist...and things almost stopped...first they are worried about my lungs so I got a neb treatment...then got the wonderful news that one of my procedures did not get scheduled...and they could get me in this afternoon, tomorrow, or reschedule....long story short...outer drain goes in at 12:30 and inside drain at 4pm...so the fasting I did this morning...continues...and Jacob got free breakfast for the inconvenience...oh and free parking today...I was as patient as possible and now I get to walk around the hospital for another 3 hours...will post again later...

Getting this process started

We made it over the pass...15mph though we didn't know why we were going so slow...now we are headed into Seattle for my ERCP/dual drain...I will post later about how it went.  Lots of prayer please!!
