Joe in the icu resting well and managing pain very well. Vitals are good, glucose under control and he has started taking nutrition through a tube, which means Joe is finally getting some protein!!!Great news.
Jim thinks Joe's pancreas is now a coffee table somewhere and we like to believe it has a creative use rather than the problems it faced trying to work for Joe.
In ICU, Joe has the radio near his head listening to olympic sports coverage even as he sleeps. Doctors stopped by early am and were in amazement as to how well Joe is doing. Joe thanked them both for the care and work they have done for him. What a thoughtful guy he is!!
Physical therapist coming in this afternoon to get Joe up in a chair. Charlotte stopped by hospital during surgery with a wonderful dinner and liquids for us last night. What a treat that was and helpful to have her here. she also had an opportunity to meet Dr Dunn after the surgery and agreed she was the best choice JOe could have made for this surgery.
More when the chair appears and Joe is sitting in it.
