Hello everyone. Well, it was a crazy week but not because of the weather. Husband's surgery was scheduled for the day of the blizzard so we went to Oklahoma City the night before and got a hotel room with indoor parking and that was just 2 miles from the Veterans hospital. Much of Oklahoma got more than a foot of snow but we were on just the edge and only got much needed rain.
The surgery and his first day of recovery went so smooth. Then we had news about a big problem and all the ways it had to be treated and we were anxious about that for 3 days.
By Friday afternoon, the problem was not a problem any longer - I believe because of prayers by us and many others.
We are home! Husband is still on several medications, will have some physical therapy and will be off work about 4 weeks. I think he is doing great.
Me? I will be taking care of him as he needs it and resting as much as I can too.
Thank you all for your sweet comments and especially for your prayers.
This is Husband resting at home in his recliner with an ice pack on his knee.
The staff at the Oklahoma City VA Hospital were wonderful.
But HOME is so much more comfortable.

So happy for you and Hubby. The Lord has bless him with a good surgery and I'll help you pray for a complete recovery. Lots of good wishes and prayers sent your way.

Yes, home is the best medicine! Glad the surgery went well, and pray the recovery process will be a quick one...
ReplyDeleteBeing a caregiver is very tiring, take care of yourself and get all the rest you can...
Glad all worked out, even with a little detour but now you are home - and it is much better at home. Thoughts and prayers for smooth recovery, take care of yourself
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your hubby is doing well, Rhonda! I suppose you'll BOTH get a little rest with him off and you home, too. Hope he's up hoppin' around soon!
ReplyDeleteThat is great news! And yes, there's no better place than home to mend and rest!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the surgery went well! Hope he has a speedy and smooth recovery too!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are home and I hope this will fix him up for the long haul! Home is a great place to be.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news! Prayers for a speedy and full recovery.
ReplyDeleteBless his heart! Bless your heart! For us, we have had 3 deaths close to our family. Not fun. Hospitals, sicknesses, surgeries, not fun! Praying for a speedy recovery for him. Isn't home wonderful?
ReplyDeleteWelcome home!!!! Hope you will get that badly needed rest as I am sure you both must be worn out from all the stress!! I see a whole lot of cooking in your future as recovering hubby's need bunches of snacks! Ha
ReplyDeleteBless your heart (and his!). I'm thankful to hear you husband came through the surgery okay. You are a wise woman to rest when you can. Caretaking is very taxing at times. I pray he has a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteGot all caught up with you tonight. Between J's surgery and missing my Sunday night reading (when I catch up with your blog) I've REALLy missed you this week! Be glad when you can visit more! Prayers continuing for your husband (and you!).
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear everything went good!!!! Was thinking of you both. Give Jeff a hug and tell him to take care. You rest yourself too, so you don't get down.
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad to see that you are home and that Jeff is in full recovery mode.
ReplyDeleteTell him to work really hard at PT because I plan on seeing him back on his bike when I'm home from DC in June :)
I'm so glad to hear that you are back home and all is well. Thank God for friends who pray!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the good news! Hope you both are able to rest!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like we are statehood sisters! I live in Edmond! I just found your blog recently thanks to a recommendation by Terri at Blue House Journal.
