Day 5 (Wednesday) - 1st Follow-Up Appt

Pain is still at a 1.

Brian had his first follow-up appointment today with the surgeon.  The surgeon was pleased with his progress so far.  Brian is down to 120 pounds - from 128 on surgery day.  It is to be expected, the surgeon said.  He just needs to try an maintain this weight.

Brian was cleared to use a waterpik - so I bought him one today.  Ron and Brian had a good time trying to figure out how to work the darn thing in the bathroom - small mess, but lots of laughs too.

We also went to a smoothie shop and spent $20 on 3 drinks - lol.  I think I will listen to Beth and just make them at home.  =)  I have that fancy Bullet blender - that has proven to be worth its weight in gold.

It was a good day for Brian - he smiled so much his cheeks are sore tonight.  Brian even put up the sofa bed - I think he wants to be done, but there is still recovery time to be had.  We will get there.
