It has been quite a week. The surgery was successful but the aftermath resulted in a six night hospital stay instead of a two night stay. Lab tests indicated low hemoglobin so my patient had a blood transfusion on Friday, his INR remained low over the weekend and his electrolytes were wonky.
He was finally released yesterday and I am hopeful that he will recover quickly with a proper diet and a restful home. My sister's dog has been keeping him company. If allowed, he would gladly lick John's wound in a canine effort to help with the healing process.
The sun is shining and my patient will soon be signed up for a marathon!
