Good afternoon, AU family!

I have so much good news to report regarding Wayne's recovery from surgery last week!

Today was a HUGE day! Physical therapy had him doing chair pushups (dips), etc. Then came Speech therapy & he was able to put the one-way valve on his trach & surprised the therapist with the strength of his voice! He got his reward - that much hoped-for cup of ice chips! (He has had nothing by mouth since last Wednesday).

Cheeky monkey! He had asked for some water & a swab to rinse his mouth out... As I turned my back to fetch something else, I caught motion out of the corner of my eye... the sly bugger had taken a sip from the cup!

He will officially start liquids tomorrow, but they want to be sure he's not leaking into any tissues anywhere from the mouth.

He is cleared to get a wheelchair, even with all the IV pole, He's very keen to get rolling since I told him it would reduce the swelling in his arms & hands...

God (whom I call Grandfather) has been so good to us!

The anesthesiologist, pre-op, had told us both that we had to have the PCR test ever 48 hours while in the hospital & that we would require the vax in order to go home... I informed him that that would NOT be happening, since the "virus" had yet to be isolated in a lab and we do not kowtow to hysteria. Then I informed him that there were far superior ways to deal with Covid than the vax... if, indeed, Covid actually exists in other than bioweapon form...

Asshole looked me straight in the eye & said, "That's why we wear these masks; because it spreads like wildfire."

I reported this to Dr. Hasney, who assured me that we did not have to comply. I said, "Damn right, because that is against the Nuremburg Code & Nuremburg 2.0 is already underway in Germany!" (I had come armed with my Nuremburg memes on my phone, LOL)

Apparently, he had a word with the anesthesiologi
