Mark had a very quiet day today. We went to the chapel for church and when he got back, his foot was a "bit bothersome" and he got back into bed. That was it as far as getting up went. He fell asleep right after lunch and stayed asleep the rest of the afternoon. Rich and I finally went up and woke him up about four o'clock since I had to take Rich to the airport at five and he wanted to spend a little more time with Mark. Once he got over the initial groggies, he was feeling much better. I think the last two days had finally caught up with him.

He is not in too much pain. He is still hooked up to the morphine pump, but has not pushed the button since last night. It does make him queasy so they are giving him something else orally and he seems to be doing okay with just that.

I went back up to his room tonight and brought him an ice cream pop and found him happy and comfortable watching Nemo on TV. He and I both got a big kick out of the fish with the short term memory loss problem. When I left him to come back downstairs he was very comfy and not in much pain, just achy. I think the worst may be behind him, hopefully. He will most likely stay in the main hospital for the remainder of the week on semi-bed rest. He had grumbled about that prior to the operation, but now he thinks it's not a bad idea.
