Before the surgery yesterday, Tim was 5’4” because of the curvature in his spine. Today he’s as tall as me (5’6”), and maybe a little taller. That’s freaking amazing!

My migraine is not totally gone, but it was tolerable to drive up to the hospital. More meds should knock it out.

That is amazing!

That's incredible, Teppy. How is Tim's pain level doing?

Much better today! Last night it was a 7, and today it’s a 2 or 3.

Oh very good news.

I was going to say, are any of us great patients?

Whenever he was hospitalized, my father was always the favorite patient on the floor. Also in rehab. And in fall class where the olds go to learn how to fall. (Better, not more.)

I’m probably not a great patient because I know too much and am willing to speak up for myself. But I am generally a compliant patient (take meds prescribed, regularly/on time, track blood pressure as requested or whatever).

Went to the US game last night and they looked awful. Just sloppy and couldn’t find each other when passing etc. so not sure I’ll be seeing them beyond the next game, even though I have tickets to several more! V sad.

Yay Tim feeling better, what does the next surgery do then?

He gets the hardware for the vertebral fusions, which involves a lot of vertebrae.

Aw, Indictment Day is my favorite holiday.
