A new day brings another new drain for Joey, but only for the time being. He will get it out before he heads home!! His surgery last night went as well as expected, however, his pain is worse than ever. Thank God for the epidural! His surgery was only about 1 1/2 hrs, but he ended up in PACU until well into the night. I was in his room waiting for him around 9:45pm and he still was not here. Nurse Mikee came in to tell me PACU had called and said I could come see him there because he would not be leaving there anytime soon. They could not control his pain and he was incredibly uncomfortable. When I got down there, he was wide awake and we talked about many things...I am thinking (hoping) anesthesia is like a truth serum for him. He said MANY nice things to me! When I asked him about it this morning, he said he doesn't remember even seeing me last night! Should I tell him now about the big new diamond ring he promised me when this is all over?????? :)
Looks like we are going to be here a little longer than expected. At least 'til Mon., so the Doc says. He is on some pretty heavy duty pain meds, so he needs to be right here.

Well..., when it rains it pours. We have some pretty heavy, but good news to pass on to you all. As of yesterday morning at 7am, Lynch Construction Inc. is now known as Lynch Construction, a division of R.F. Jordan, in Ellsworth. They are an incredibly well known and respected construction company. This has all happened in just a couple of weeks and it has certainly been a whirlwind to say the least. Especially with everything else that is going on!! Let me tell you all how yesterday alone went...
7am Meeting at our home with the new owners
8am Meeting with our men. (To explain to them how this was a good thing for them and we care about them so much! We had them in mind through this whole process. This wasn't just for our benefit, it was for theirs too.)
9am Met with new owners and our guys as a group
10:30am My consultation at Cancer Care of Maine to figure out my path of treatment
12pm Hit the road for Portland
3pm Maine Med for Joey's surgery
Funniest thing of all is that at my 10:30 appt they took my blood pressure and it was great! How could that possibly be?????
I know this is a lot to consume in one post, but it is all for the good. Many tears have been shed, but in the long run, it is best for all. This is also going to be a great healing tool for Joey, just knowing the ship is now sailing in smooth waters. They have even offered Joey a position when he feels up to it. Another huge load off his back. Now, with all of this said, it is truly time to "LET THE HEALING BEGIN!"
So, until next time, God Bless and {{hugs}} to all...
