Paul got his "swan" out of his neck this morning and they finally transferred him down to another room. He's detached from all the tubes and wires and he's free to move about the halls. He's been walking twice today and the doctor came in to see us both.
Dr Martin said he was doing well and asked us how this compared to the last surgery. We said there was NO comparison. Last time he looked pale and weak for 2 weeks but this time he looked healthy and normal on the second day. He also has NO arm pain for the first time in 14 months.
Doctor said it looks like he can come home tomorrow. The doc will be in mid-morning and see how he's doing. He expects he will release Paul then.
I washed the bed sheets and got things ready for him to come "home". The doctor said he wants to see Paul in 3 weeks and then in a month he can make the drive back to Alaska. It will still be 3 months before he can drive the boat or run his backhoe or dozer. That's okay, Paul's future is finally bright again.
