Saw the Surgeon Tuesday
Bob is healing well and doesn't have to go back to see his surgeon for a month now! No more weekly appointments.
Healing
He's walking more, slowly getting stronger, building his endurance, and only has pain if he's been sitting up too long or has to have the wound-vac dressing changed. Every day is a little bit better than the day before.
Still anemic...
...but his hemoglobin is up to 8.9 now - the highest it's been since this surgery journey began a month ago. We're pushing protein so his body can continue to heal.
It's so nice that I just have a few happy bits to share, and no long, drawn out narrative of worries and bad vital signs to be posted. We're really starting to feel like he's on the other side of this thing for good.

Ready for his morning walk. There's 38 pounds less of Bob now!
Waiting to see the surgeon. If you couldn't guess, Bob really dislikes his "tether".
