So the man went and got himself hurt - bad enough to need emergency surgery. We spent the weekend of 10/9 - 10/11 in the hospital, brought him home and kept him cooped up since then. He's moving around much better, and taking less of the pain meds, which is a great relief for us both. Today we have a follow up with his surgeon. Considering how lackadaisical the doctor was just getting us a work excuse, I'm thinking we'll be in the office for a while today. Crossing fingers, toes, eyes, hearts, and whatever else I can cross that he can go back to work soon, but he's still sleeping a lot so I don't know. The call has been made to start the short term disability process.
