alls well that ends well...

kevin's surgery seemed to go good, he got bumped twice there, since it was an outpatient surgery center & the patient before him wasn't in good enough health, so the dr. had to travel to her hospital for surgery, then come back. we were still home @ 8:30p.m. mom was here after school for the kids & took them out for supper & made sure homework was done.
they had to cut off some bone at the break, since he'd been walking on it, the edges were rounded instead of sharp, so they made them sharp again & used the cut off bone for a graft, then put in wire & screws to hold it all together, surgeon thinks it'll work. plaster-cast-no-weight-bearing-for-5-weeks. the driveway was a slick mother, good thing he's already a crutch expert...
I am a small town driver, Des Moines makes me nervous, altho we took 5N in & looped most DM traffic, & 5S out & looped most DM traffic...& there really didn't seem to be much traffic. kevin didn't gasp or grap the dash handle or anything like he did the last time I drove him home from surgery in DM...I figured he'd sleep all the way home, he was wound for sound, & requested McDonalds on the way home. the pain pills wind him up, but I don't think he could sleep without them...
