Difficult Night

Waking up at the crack of dawn is not an easy task. This morning, it proved to be even more difficult, even with the Elvis Presley signing "Blue Christmas" through the alarm clock.Greg had his first difficult night. We aren't sure if his body is screaming from everything he did yesterday or he just slept in the wrong position last night. Either way, a part of his incision is hurting him on the upper left side and his left ankle as well. The ankle I am not too concerned about as it is something that can be easily remedied. It is the incision that I am cautious about due to obvious reasons. Greg isn't concerned - just very tired.So, I gave him a pain killer for his incision pain and he is sleeping once again. We have waited 9 years to work out together; a few more hours is not going to kill us. Depending on how he feels, we will either work out later this morning or just wait until Saturday morning (since he has labs, IV, and rehab tomorrow morning).This is not to say that we are no thankful in the least bit. There are always ups and downs and if this is as bad as the downs get, we will gladly take them. For now, we will sit back and enjoy our Thanksgiving for two years ago, Greg almost passed on this very day after a run in with pneumonia. This Thanksgiving day is definitely a day to celebrate!
