It was a long night. Paul was released from the surgery center at the height of rush hour. By the time we got home it was nearing 6:00. He was so hungry.
The first order of business was food. But the minute that he sat down to eat, blood began to pour from his surgical dressing. True to form, the only thing he was worried about was getting it on the carpet, and not the fact that his body was leaking essential fluids.
We wrapped him up and rushed him to the emergency room. They checked the sutures, cleaned him up, redressed the wound,and ran some blood tests to make sure his blood was coagulating normally. It turns out that he just wasn't quite ready to be released from the surgical center earlier in the evening. After they patched him up and he quit leaking, they let us go home.
He is resting now, although I can't say "comfortably". The percocet seems to have a calming effect. Perhaps I should give him some of it as well!
Luckily, I can work from home as need be so he is well attended to. Again, thanks for all the get well wishes.

Thanks for the updates, and I'm glad he's ok. It's never easy to take care of a loved one when they're in need, and you've had your share. You should be sainted!
Oh...and...get your hands off his percoset! :)
It is my personal opinion that people choose to become hurt in order to aviod personal work (not job related) such as painting, cooking, taking out trash, etc. I am glad Paul is better. As for the sainted part that Nonna suggested for Jon, well, give it some time, a long time.
Oh..get us all some more percoset! lol
