Agreed. We have good guys that's for sure!! Kevin is ready to go back to work. He's soooo bored!
We are weaning off the pain meds too. He has only been on Lortab though. It's a liquid Vicoden basically. He's gone from 9 tsp a day to 6. Next week he will drop down again. He will have to be off of them to go back to work. Praying for the tongue to heal. The culture came back negative for infection, so it just needs time. Funny how a sore on that little thing could cause grown men so much pain!! Well...not funny really.
