It's Alive!

S was out of the op theatre by 11:00am and in recovery for about an hour. Then I went up to meet him in his room. He was a bit groggy but wouldn't stop talking as he's normally quiet, I guess that was an effect of the drugs!! The surgeon was pleased with his work and said that they had been able to add about 2cm length to S's leg. He should be up and walking today!! but will have 2 more days in hospital before they give him the all clear.
He has a lovely room overlooking Torrey Pines golf course and the sea beyond. He can also see the hangliders that fly from a gliderport just to the left of the golfcourse, so lots going on. He had a fair night last night but the nurses kept waking up to turn him and check his bp etc. Glad that's over but I think the recovery is going to be something else.
