Monday 9:00 am Update

Well, we made it through our first night in a private room. We didn't get much sleep, however. Steve was pretty miserable. He was in a lot of pain and just could not get comfortable. To relieve his discomfort we walk the floors which really is a good thing. He's getting pretty good at pushing that walker and I gotta tell you I can really drive an IV pole. The doctor came in this morning and says everything still looks great. The pain is to be expected, but they are keeping a close eye on him making sure he does not develop an infection. Steve will finally be able to have some clear liquids today, so Kay get those moose bombs ready. I know alot of you are calling wanting to come visit Steve but let's give him a few more days to feel better and get his strength back. Now that he is on the floor we have internet access so he will enjoy reading your messages himself. Lydia, Uncle Steve says the race is "on". He's no slouch on that incentive spirometer!!!! Steve and I send our love to all. Paddy
