hi aimee!
i am thrilled that kevin is doing so well. it takes awhile to get that energy back, from what i've read here. joey is now almost 5 weeks post-op and still poops out (he walks and goes to work each day for a few hours.....must be that guilt!!) at somepoint during the day. some days are better than others. just be patient and it will all fall into place_that's what i found. please tell kevin not to overdo though, because as anyone here will tell you, it may set him back.
joey clearly gets more achy and tired when he does too much and has to cut back for a day or so.
about the photos.... joey wanted to see himself at every stage of the surgery (after), so i used his digital camera and took pic's of him while he was still intubated and out cold, then when the tubes came out and then daily pic's thereafter.
i can see why he would want to have those pic's. i thought it was funny and it's nice to see there are others out there with the same quirky ideas!
glad kevin's well; how are you holding up? getting any sleep? it gets easier every day.
bless you both,
sylvia
