Bill has been back in the room for about 2 hours now and has had lunch. He's had some pain, but Percocet is working. Dr. Burnett and Dr. Garrett's assistant have both been in and have given the OK to go home tomorrow. We're still waiting for Dr. Lan to come in but I don't expect him until later. Dr. Burnett wants him to start with some mild walking but not to plan any long trips for awhile, although Christmas in Florida is still on. He's going to adjust his meds some to see if that will help with the weakness.

I actually think that Bill has learned from this that he has to pay attention to the changes his body makes and not keep things to himself. Enough people in authority (meaning not his wife)have told him how close he came to dying Monday, because he didn't want to worry me. I don't think he'll do that again.
