surgery update

Sherman had his surgery this morning. It lasted from 8:30 AM until around 12:30/12:45. All went well, the stone did not come out with the stent. The doctor said it was a really large kidney stone. No telling how long he had been growing it. When Sheryl and I left the hospital he was resting comfortably and sleeping. I gave him some sips of water and that helped his dry mouth.

He will be at Charlton hospital until Wednesday or Thursday. He has a drain at the incision site and may go back to the rehab hospital with it. I will keep you posted. I figure tomorrow he will be hurting and not resting as well so I wanted to spend more time there tomorrow. I still have to leave about 4:30 because of driving after dark. So far all is well with me. The cold is still lingering and the deep coughing is still there but better. I thank the Lord Sherman did not catch the cold or the 24 hour thing from me.

He really did enjoy Thanksgiving with the family. We will probally start bringing him for more short visits as he gets stronger.

More tomorrow.
Love to All,
Dolores
