He's pain free!!!

I'm just astounded - surgery was at 10:30, by 2pm Coop was in a basically upright position and eating lunch! I left the hospital at 4pm; the nurse asked his pain level and he said ZERO!! I just got off the phone with him, and he was able to walk to the bathroom (sorry if this is TMI) WITHOUT PAIN! Note: he is on NO pain meds; there is a morphine pump for him that he hasn't used!

The point of staying in the hospital tonight (they might have released him if we hadn't said to his doctor up front we wanted him to stay) is to SLEEP. He is so sleep deprived from the pain, and I'm glad to say, I believe he will actually SLEEP!

Thank you all so much for your prayers and good thoughts. Your love and caring is so much appreciated - more than you'll ever know!!
