Well this is definitely proving to be a much harder surgery to recover from than anyone thought. Dan has a good day followed by a few bad days. It really feels like he has to slide backwards in order to get ahead. Mentally this is very hard, as I'm sure you can imagine. New territory for all.
Dan had a day pass yesterday to come home for a few hours. While this felt amazing, it took a lot out of him, even though the visit consisted mostly of a nap on the couch while the kids played on and around him. He returned to the hospital feeling quite ill, and had a rough night. Eating is again nearly impossible.
Dan's spirits need lifting, and so we're reaching out to friends. Come visit please (I think he's getting sick of me... ha!). He looks great, only one IV connected for fluids. Be forewarned he has lost about 20 pounds, and as he has said himself he looks much like Tom Hanks did in the movie Philadelphia. Boy I got some cooking to do when he gets out.
Dan's at the foothills, main building, Unit 102 - 10th Floor, Room 1061, his bed is next to the window. Best to e-mail Dan to coordinate a time, dan.tutt@encana.com
