Recovering

TJ made it through surgery without any complications. My mom was able to stay with us for a few days, and that helped out a lot!

The first day was pretty painful for him, but after that, he recovered very quickly. Over the weekend, he was able to get some rest. In fact, he slept almost 12 hours straight one night. In all the years that we have been together, I don't recall him ever sleeping that long of a stretch before!

He went back to work today for a few hours. I think he enjoyed getting out of the house for a while! He still has to take it easy--he can't lift, pull, or push anything for a while yet. This coming Friday he will go back to the doctor to take the stitches out. Overall, he AND I both survived!!!
