Surgery Day

Nate had hip surgery yesterday.  It was a very long day, starting with us waking up at 4:30 am to get to the hospital, then waiting around for a long time.  Then he went into surgery, and even though the surgeon said there were very few risks and those were not life or death types of risks, I was still scared.  But the doc came back out half an hour sooner than he thought and was very happy with how it had gone.  Nate was pretty loopy right after surgery, but recovered quickly from the anesthesia and didn't really sleep at all afterwards.  We finally left the hospital and headed home.  Today was a lot of running around getting Nate's equipment set up and then switched out and getting out pudding cups and ginger ale.  Thanks to Gary and Allie for staying with Nate while I went to get his prescriptions and for bringing us dinner today.  Appreciate it so much.  Hope that Nate can heal and be healthy again.
