Happier times in a smock before the operation.
Laura and I are alternating days at the hospital, and she chose the grueling first night. As I was about to leave shortly after 6 pm, Jon started complaining about pain in the hip and within about ten minutes he was wailing in pain in waves. Muscle spasms were breaking through the pain control provided by the epidural. Very stressful. But the Pain Management Team rep was there quickly, and Laura reports that by 8:00 Jon was sawing away in comfortable sleep.
Jon watches his DVD player
I cannot overstate how impressed we are by the surgical team and the staff around them at Sick Kids. Very professional, very understanding and sensitive to Jon’s needs. I’d praise them more but I’m exhausted and it’s time for bed.
BTW telephone number at the room is [removed–ed]. Visitors are more than welcome.

Hi Jon,
Hope your first night went ok and you got lots of rest. Let’s hope as well that the pain medication worked on those muscle spasms and you are not feeling any pain. Are you watching a DVD today. Maybe some Loony Tunes or Animaniacs? I can’t wait to see you. Lots of Love xoxo
