Recovery Day 2 - Good Morning

I had an email from Peter at 6:23 a.m., which I took as a good sign...he had to be out of the bed to send it.  I hustled to be here by 7, since so much happened so early yesterday, but today is a bit slower.

Still, his nurse came in and removed the bandages on his neck and belly, and those look really good.  Someone else came by to weigh him (193, not bad, considering), then the surgical team came by (they just look at him from a distance and ask a couple of questions).

Then Stephanie again for more meds, and then to get him up an walking.  He just completed four laps, which he said were harder than yesterday's because he is feeling the belly wound more with fewer drugs at work.  Once Stephanie gets him untangled, up to the walker, and all his tubes ready-to-roll then my job is to follow behind him pushing the pole.

The other happy news is that his voice is better.  It isn't normal yet, but definitely better.   That's the morning report.  Peter is napping, and I am going to do the same.
