I'm so relieved it went so well-the surgeon told me hubby could be back to his pre-injury lifting capacity in three to four months if he starts slowly and doesn't lift over 10 lbs. for 6 weeks. He is still a bit groggy and unsteady, but was pretty much awake by the time I got him home at around 11:30, and fixed him some lunch, and he is not in as much pain as we both feared he might be. Between being in a hurry and sympathetic for his fasting, I have not eaten today-I can keep going for another few hours, though if I put my mind to it-I'm grilling the steaks, because hubby expressed a desire for one before he went to lie down, and I'm starving and want one, too...
well don't go passing out from hunger, he needs you!
Did they give him toradol? That is a great drug that reduces the need for heavy pain meds and all their side effects.
Nah - Go ahead and eat the steak yourself.
He may think he's hungry now, but he won't really be hungry until tommorrow.
