ICU or move?

All of us are back in the ICU waiting area and we continue to check on P. He looks good today, but he didn't get much sleep last night. We are waiting to hear when he can move up to a room. Yippeeee! That means he is that much more mobile - not that we expect running or jumping, but just getting out of bed is a fabulous feat. The doctor saw him this morning and decided that he can leave ICU - wait a minute, that was the coach who said he was ready to change Paul's position. I hope to be waving him home from third base soon. He truly has been a great team player. Then the games will begin at home to insure that he continues his healing process. I will be gentle but firm with occasional bits of being a hardass. If he steps out of line I am capable of doing rare and unusual things to keep him in line.
Also, last night, one of the nurses in ICU came in to let us know they were trying to decide who P looks like more, Sean Connery or George Clooney?? I would say that would make him feel better. Actually, it really did. Judie, you are right, I am married to eye candy. I'm ok with that.
So, his healing is progressing nicely if one can say that for someone who has staples in their belly. They have a localized pain medication to help with the incision site. They also still have him equipped with his pain pump to deliver relief. I am signing off for now, and will keep you posted if he gets let out of ICU.
Much love to all and Paul sends his message,DIETYTILY
