Steve is doing great! I just returned from visiting our hero and have only positive things to say. The extra little surgery last night doesn't seem to have had any negative effect. He looks good, his spirits are high, his pain is in control and he seemed content talking about his recent medical experiences, napping and watching college football.
Aside from some issues with the anesthesia department, he is quite happy with his care at WHC. His thumb is getting quite a bit of exercise pumping the morphine drip, and he is reluctantly doing his breathing exercises as well. As usual with Steve, complaints are at a minimum. He was however lamenting (ever so slightly) not eating enough sushi over the past few weeks. Who knows, maybe spicy tuna rolls are still in his future. I never rule anything out with him.
Despite a little trepidation, he is looking forward to taking a couple of steps tomorrow or as he calls it "walking." Given his past few days, taking a couple of steps is probably like finishing a marathon. Steve also requested that visitors hold off until Monday when he has regained a little more strength and feels he'll be ready to stay awake a bit longer.
All in all...way to go Steve!
