Dan's surgery went well this morning. Getting to the hospital by 5:30 this morning was a little hard but being in the first round of surgeries had real advantages. All the staff at Presbyterian were great and we like Dan's doctor a lot. Dr. Schomer said it would take about an hour--and it did. No complications--no unexpected problems. He told us we'd be out of the hospital by about 11:00--and Dan came out the hospital doors at 11:00--amazing! We were home in 35 minutes--about the fastest we'd ever made it--and no, I didn't break any speed laws.
After some soup and toast for lunch he took some Percocet hoping to stay ahead of the worst pain. He's going to be hurting for the first few days especially. And he's to stay flat for three days to control swelling that can slow the rate of healing. For now he's stretched out trying to watch TV to take his mind off of the pain.
Thanks so much for all your prayers. Things couldn't have gone better this morning. Please keep them up so that his recovery time is quick and uneventful.

PTL! Get well quick and watch some good movies to reccommend.
I am so glad that the surgery is behind you. Now, here's praying for a speedy, pain-free recovery.
Rest and heal, father. We love you!
That is fantastic news. I am so thankful that it all went well. Keep him in line Betty!
Wow Dan... you must be one tough cowboy to watch modern tv and NOT feel pained. mark
What a wimp! ;)
I can say that now--I've read ahead to future posts and know he's improving.
Betty, you blogging stud you, it's great to "hear" your voice.
And I say post that picture--I'd be happy to teach you how. After all, he wouldn't really kill you. Who'd bring him his soup?
Love you guys
