Surgery was a success!  My large patient is not a very good patient.  He's trying to do things he should not be doing because he thinks he can.  He can't.  In reality it's a good thing that he over estimates his capabilities, that translates to greatness in the grand scheme of things and it's not a trait I've overlooked in him.  And I admit I've noticed him relying on me a little bit here and there-sometimes at the most inopportune times.  "Hon, are you in the middle of something?"  But I can't tell you how great it is to have him here hanging out with the littlest one.  They're on the couch next to me right now.

But the other side of the coin is that it appears he's coming down with my chest cold.  Before you start feeling too bad for him remember this: he's off from work for the next 2 weeks anyway and he can take all the good meds that, as a breastfeeding mom, I couldn't.
