Hi just a quick post here.. It was a long night, but getting better this am. Earl needs lots of help this am. so I'll respond to everyones prayers and messages later. Thank you all so much for keeping us in your prayers and thoughts.
Earl is doing much better this am. His bp is back to normal. He is taking his pain meds even though he ususally won;t take any. So I know this was a painful surgery.
I was really upset they sent Earl home with the bp that high.. His surgery was done at an Out pt Surgery center and the anesthesiologist made the decision to release him. I could tell the nurse on duty didn't agree because she said..."It hasn't come down since the injection" The anes. said " it will..." By 11 pm it finally started to some down, it was 160/86 then. This am it is back to normal 100/60. He still has 100 + temp so I have a call in to the doc. I think they should have sent him home with an antibiotic too. He has implants in both hip & knees and they always worry about infection with him.
Thanks for your concern and input. Hugs, Paulette

Hope Earl continues to improve and take care of you too!

Hi Paulette:
Glad to hear things are going better and that Earl came thru the surgery ok. I'm surprised they didn't give him a antibiotic too.....hopefully the fever is down as well.
Thinking about you both and holding you close in my thoughts and prayers.
