    Dad's doing alright, besides

    Dad's doing alright, besides this back pain. It's in the area where the incision is. They referred him to a pain specialist and they changed his meds yesterday, so hopefully it will help. Everything else is going ok, knock on wood........I'm doing alright, returned back to work so it's nice to get my mind off of things. Even though they have the surgery, we don't get a break do we? LOL, tubes, wounds, crankiness etc.....

     

    How are you guys doing?

    Back Pain

    Larry doesn't have back pain. Probably because he didn't have the Ivor Lewis, he had the THE. He has an incision from the sternum to the belly button, and one on his neck. I hope the pain management works for him> Enjoy your breaks whenever you can get them!
