fourth surgery complete

Steve made it thru the surgery again. He has 34 stitches in his back and 8-10 in his thumb plus half his nail is gone. Probably will not get his nail back. Our appointment was for 3:00 and the doctor was running behind. We could have rescheduled, but we decided no way, that we wanted to get it done, and let the healing be over soon. We didn't get done and home until 8:00. Good thing Heather planned ahead and helped me with dinner or it would have been cereal or oatmeal tonight ,and Steve hates oatmel. He is on a strong pain killer so he will be out of it for the next few days so his woodworking project for Saturday will have to go on hold. Plus he can't get his thumb wet. No way to wood work and keep clean. It will be a busy day tomorrow as both Steve and my mom have to be at Southwest General Hospital at 7:30. Mom knows about Steve's cancer so they will go together. My mom has a CAT scan and Steve has his radiation treatments both at the same time. Steven T is picking up his dad so he doesn't have to stay there the whole time. Pray for my mom that the mass on her stomach is just from her bumping it and not anything else. Steve has to go back the doctor on Monday to have the surgery checked. Thanks for your prayers and support. Sorry I didn't make it to AWANA tonight, I hate to miss it.
