Home!

Charles and I have been home since 2. He's been sleeping off an on. We were both SUPER happy to be able to shower! At least we were prepared for the surgery in some ways this time around since we didn't have a whole lot of advanced notice (having a shower seat, etc).  He's been taking the max dose of codeine that he can, and also tylenol.  He's due for another dose at 11, in addition to some more decadron (steroid- it sucks). Some fluid has pooled under his eye and it's nice and green and puffy. He's eaten a good amount today and that has made me very happy!  Last night he drank a little broth and that was about it.  This morning he had a little scrambled eggs and some orange juice.  When we got home, I made him some chicken & vegetable soup.  I was hoping he would be able to swallow some of the veggies, and he tried drinking it through a straw and it didn't work out so well, so we sent it through the blender!  It worked really well... turned into a chicken veggie bisque or something.  I was very happy he actually got in some protein & veggies.  He also had some mashed potatoes and a couple spoon-fulls of applesauce. 
We also got a brief visit from Osh & Michele which was lovely... and they fed the cats for us :-D  Awesome.  I SUPER appreciate not having to do that tonight!  I'm ready to crash... poor Charlie is in pain.. I gave him the pain meds a little early, I hope it will kick in soon and he can get some good sleep in. 
Anything else I can update about later :)
Goodnight!  Thanks everyone :)
