So it has been three weeks now since Dan's surgery.
Everyday his balance gets a bit better.  He has graduated from a walker to a cane.  Today Dan started physiotherapy.
They have him set for three times a week.
The doctor would be very happy that Dan is following his recovery rules.  He is getting a wee bit grumpy/frustrated.  Like I said before Dan doesn't like to sit around and do nothing.  Physio will be great because he can't wait to get back to working out again.
His eye still bugs him as does drinking from a cup.  A couple more months and these things won't be an issue.
Our oldest son loves to rub Dan's right shoulder.  His whole right side is stiff.

 Over all we are on the right track.  Patience is no longer his strong suit which makes me giggle.  He is human!!!!  :)
That too will come back I am sure.  :-)

Busy days.

We came back Sunday afternoon.  With a lovely greeting from Dans siblings and their families.  We had some dinner, and it was great!


Monday night my family brought dinner over.  All in all everyone just wanted to lay there eyes on Dan to make sure he was truly OK.

We have been home for two days now and it's heaven!  :-)
Dan is sleeping great in our recliner and continues to get stronger.
The boys have been amazing with their daddy.  I am so proud of them.  They have always been very compassionate boys.
Today we went to get the staples out and it went very well.  The incision looks fantastic.  Our GP was really amazed how well Dan looked.  If you think about our other option of having surgery done in Canada Dan would have only just gotten out of the hospital. (8-10 days)
We are blessed with the procedure Dan had done, especially with the severity of the situation.  He truly is lucky to be alive.

Tomorrow we look into physiotherapy.
 Also, I've been informed...."the beard is coming off"!
lol
I think he looks very handsome.
