I agree and am leaning more towards the withdrawal now. Yesterday he was very nostalgic, emotional and depressed. He is still sticking to it and this morning feels more like Pat than he has in weeks. The big milestone was he was actually able to sleep in bed! The last few weeks it has been the recliner because of the mucous. I think the see saw is going to be a good one today and after the drugs are totally out of his system we will keep moving forward. He is plagued with the sore on his tongue too, I hope there is relief for that soon. Wow, I would be freaking out about Alaska, we are in Florida and Pat gets chills when it is in the 50's!!!!! I am sure he will do fine though, 4 weeks is a lot of healing time and I think our men will be back in the game totally by then!
