Poor Curty :0(

yesterday he finally had surgery on his foot that has been killing him for ALONG time now!!! We got there checked in paid our copay, talked with a nurse about his current medications and signed informed consents, changed into the infamous gown and cap, the nurse came back to start his I.V. and told us the anesthiesiologist will be in and the Dr. Curts fear was that he would wake up in the middle of the surgery and feel pain but not be able to speak. The Anesth. Dr. said don't worry we will have you in a deep sleep and your Dr. will numb the arch of his foot really good and to not worry about that. Then the Dr. came in and marked the left foot with an arrow and a yes on it. They weeled him back and said it would be about 45 min. then they would come get me. They were right and he was awake and alert but still groggy when they brought me back to recovery Drinking a diet coke :0).
We didn't stay there long before I got him dressed and the boot on and we were gone. He did o.k. at home just tired and was still numbed. He thought by taking his ambien and a pain pill he would hopefully sleep all thru the night but not so much... He hobble into the bathroom at least twice with the crutches(thank you nana for letting us borrow them). When he woke up at 6;30 a.m. he was in alot of pain!!! Up until then it was managable (pain) with only one pill every 4 hours. He is hurting so bad tough today he will take 2 every 6hrs.
We know the first couple days are the worst so just pray we can get thru this :0)
I feel so bad for him and really hope after it is healed the pain is gone!!!!
