Good afternoon, AU family!
I have so much good news to report regarding Wayne's recovery from surgery last week!
Today was a HUGE day! Physical therapy had him doing chair pushups (dips), etc. Then came Speech therapy & he was able to put the one-way valve on his trach & surprised the therapist with the strength of his voice! He got his reward - that much hoped-for cup of ice chips! (He has had nothing by mouth since last Wednesday).
Cheeky monkey! He had asked for some water & a swab to rinse his mouth out... As I turned my back to fetch something else, I caught motion out of the corner of my eye... the sly bugger had taken a sip from the cup!
He will officially start liquids tomorrow, but they want to be sure he's not leaking into any tissues anywhere from the mouth.
He is cleared to get a wheelchair, even with all the IV pole, He's very keen to get rolling since I told him it would reduce the swelling in his arms & hands...

So the link to the GiveSendGo you posted, @QakeLady , wasn't working???
Here it is again, just in case anyone would like to chip in maybe $5 and help us out.
https://givesendgo.com/G3M...
I know it will hit me later - the enormous cost of everything. I'm aware that it will be way more than $5,000... But I can't be bothered thinking about that now - that's what I asked Grandfather (God) to handle for us, because the whole subject just terrifies me.
Yesterday, Wayne was trying to pay our electric & some other bills by phone... but I didn't have enough money left in my account to cover them & still have gas to get us home at the end of the week, so we waited...
The kids can help us cover utilities. Disability won't kick in for 3-4 months, but it should be retroactive to appllication date when it does.
I just can't allow myself to think about that now because I'll turn into a puddle. Much better to focus on

I will call right now. I've been waiting, but Wayne has the TV on while he's sleeping (aaarrrgh!), and I've been up & down, fetching & suctioning & adjusting sheets & blankets, getting him ice, etc.
I won't sleep until I get home, most likely, Sis, but at least I can lie down full length! The 1950's-era "recliner" in the other room was a torture table with wooden arms to make your elbows nervy & achy...
But I'm good with the pull out loveseat. The end extends & you use the back cushions to make the "bed." I can stretch out & rest my back at night, at least. One would think a hospital such as this would have more ergonomic furniture, but I'm just grateful to have a place to rest my back.
Once we get home, away from the machines beeping, woosh-wooshing, and people coming in for finger sticks & vital signs...
He will sleep just fine in his own cushy bed & I will sleep in the recliner so as not to disturb...
His recovery will progress by leaps & bounds then!
