Judith-I'm so glad you posted. I was wondering how everything went. Your husband seems to be doing well-you also. The scars from the staples will hardly be noticeable at all in a few months. You will hear alot of interesting things from your husband's imagination due to the morphine. I had to write some of it down because mine doesn't remember any of it. He kept thinking that he had been kidnapped. Maybe if he had been I would have gotten more rest. He even took to calling me at 5:30 am to see when I was coming to the hospital. He didn't know if it was day or night! Those drains are something aren't they. Well, I'm so glad things went relatively well for you and tell Harold to keep up the good work!
