Day 5 Begins...

Poor Tom, I feel so awful for him. He's in a lot of pain and there's only so much I can do. We live our days in 4 hour intervals and as much as he wants the medicine, he can hardly swallow it. For those of you wondering what this was all for, the surgery will hopefully improve if not cure his sleep apnea. His sleep has already improved, even if it is being helped along by the Vicodin. :) But he actually takes deep breaths when he's sleeping, something I've never seen him do before.

I have to go to Philly for a day trip tomorrow and I'm worried about leaving him. He seems to get a little worse every day, but they did say days 5-9 were going to be the worst. And to top it all off I have to leave on Friday for a week in Vancouver. He's not too happy to have his nurse leaving him!

Thanks for all the well wishes!
