After a strong dose of steroids, neurontin (sp), and percoset he was feeling MUCH better! Yes he was asking for food, the nurse said I'll give you credit for being consistent! I talked with him on my way home and he had ordered his 3rd meal of ice cream and cookies! He didn't feel like eating yesterday so he's apparently making up for lost time. He hadn't eaten since Noon Sunday until today at 4pm!
When I talked with him on the way home the doc had been in and he told him he was feeling 145% better (as opposed to ???) the doc has him scheduled for the epidural injection in the morning and they should be sprung around noon. He walked my sister and I to the elevator.
Thanks everyone we appreciate very much the thoughts and prayers.
The big red dog hasn't done a whole lot since I've been home she did go visiting and they had company so she's POOPED!
