We are home and doing okay. Stan took a shower this morning. He is walking around like he has a stick up his butt (I am not sure if this was extra), but other than that, all is well. I thought I had this down after Mom, but Stan brings "caregiving" to a new level. Stan having surgery is like having a new baby, without the stitches and big boobs.
More later.

Necked
I love all this word implies. You can't say this word without a little smile.
Stan is getting necked in the AM. We need to be at Western Wake at 5:30 AM. His surgery should take about 6 hours. The current plan is that he will come home Thursday. Stan had a cervical fusion about 5 years ago. They are going to go above the fusion and repair the 3 busted disks above the fusion, and then re-fuse (don't get out the green pens) the entire stretch. Needless to stay, I won't be turning his head any time soon. Also, he won't be able to see his shoes after this. I remember a long couple of months where I couldn't see my feet with Zach and he had to tie my shoes. We will see if he likes wearing shoes that don't match....
