Tom made it through the night with flying colors.
His pain is well managed with the Demerol that he is on! Yah! And he is not reacting badly to the pain meds so that is also a very big plus.
He actually set his alarm and so that he could take his pain meds every 4 hours. He didn't want to sleep through the time and then wake up in tremendous pain. And since he has all day also to sit in the chair and sleep, it is all good! Right now the only time he really notices his pain is when he makes that trip to the bathroom. His foot is no longer up then and he seems to somehow feel like it gets banged - even though it is in a very huge boot for protection. I think it is just that sensitive right now. So by the time he gets back to the chair he is usually in a lot of pain. Still, overall he seems to be doing well.
