Husband was told late this afternoon that he could come home tomorrow–today he was allowed first clear liquids and then up to soft foods and throughput occurred. Also, the biopsies came back negative–so the final big concern is relieved. So. I’m off to pick up our son in the city (other direction from the city with the hospital) tonight so I’m not trying to drive 100 miles round trip in one direction and then 50 miles round trip in the other direction with horse chores included in there somewhere.
Thanking you all for your patience, your good thoughts & prayers, and your support.

Yay! Glad for all the good news, and that you will finally get to draw in a bit, and hopefully get some rest. Take good care of yourself.

That is very excellent news! Glad to hear he’s recovering well, and being able to go home is always good.

Good news!

Yay!
What an … interesting … summer you have had! Con crud, and hospitals and ERs, and colic-y horses, and sick tractors, all with a backdrop of storms in May and unremitting heat ever since. Here’s hoping things settle down and get downright dull (although the excitement of aerial H20 would be nice, though looking unlikely.) May the lively doings be confined to Paksworld henceforth.

Delighted to hear your husband is being ‘let out’ and that biopsy is all clear, all the best to you both – wish I could send you some of the rain from over here in Belgium…

Sending prayers of thanksgiving for a happy outcome.
When do we need to start the rain dance?

Great news on the biopsy! Your friend Genko is right. Take time for yourself.

He’s home…turns out they didn’t move him up to full liquids & soft foods at the hospital…but let him out anyway. At home he started on the other liquids (yogurt, for instance) but while I was doing something else, an apple disappeared. Not YET, I said. But too late. He’s been outside, despite the heat, and took the drain gasket out of the old horse trough while I dragged the new horse trough around from the front yard to the south horse lot. At least he sat down (on the horse trough turned on its side.) They gave him a prescription for pain pills, but he didn’t want to fill it (“Maybe I won’t need it.”)
So I’m hoping we both get a good night’s sleep.

Hope you are both getting some rest and Himself is not trying to overdo it. Stubbornness is not always the best trait to have. Keeping the prayers coming.

Here’s hoping you had a quiet and uneventful night and a good sleep – the both of you!

Have him take the pain medication, for his sleep and for yours. You win no points for martyrdom.
But it is good to be home.

He hasn’t had pain meds since last Thursday and is sleeping well. Me, not so much, though I got a good nap this afternoon.
He’s doing very well.

Ah, sleep. Wonderous sleep.
