Surgery

Steven's surgery was last Tuesday. His clavicle had almost an inch of bone burned off the end of it. I was terrified, he, was as cool as cucumber. Until we headed home of course. It took forever to clear from work, and get his RX filled. He also had a drip of Novocaine into the surgery site. So after about 2 days of constant Pain medications, Ice and sleeping, we headed back to the Dr. They said his arm looks great and he could even shower... I was thrilled. Unfortunately, that did not mean he could wash himself. But he has been fantastic to have around. Especially tonight. Catherine choked herself on a piece of ramen and was wheezing and if my wonderful husband had not been here I have no idea what I would have done. I kept crying and leaving the room. Thankfully, it was not nearly as bad as either of us was thinking it was. She coughed up the piece within a couple seconds and was improving, but I had already called 911. Of course it took them 20 minutes to get here and by then she was singing and dancing and thinking life was fine and I was a wreck and Steve was getting more meds in his system.. he had used the surgery arm for the heimlich. Terrible night, but it really shows how much I love for Steve to be around. He keeps everything together for me when I can't. He is simply amazing!
