Interesting day at the VA hospital, as they had a problem with their air - it was SO COLD in there! - and in the midst of fixing it burst a pipe in the ceiling and hot water came spraying out everywhere, luckily they had already taken Randy back as it was in the "prep" room almost right over his bed! No one was hurt and they eventually found a shut-off valve but what a mess! I'm sure it was a pain for all the nurses to deal with normal work while the maintenance guys are cleaning and fixing...
As for Randy, all seems to be well, the surgery went smoothly and he is home in bed on pain pills. The last time (November, left hand) it was only a few days and once the swelling went down he could tell already that he had a great result - from half a hand of numbness and tingling to just a thin line down the outside of his palm and pinky finger, and his grip strength is much improved. So we are hoping for the same result this time! In the meantime, we are calling him Lefty lol. Obviously his right hand isn't much good for anything yet:
I think this recovery period may be a little harder though, since it his dominant hand out of commission...
Now if only the VA could figure out how to solve his other health issues...

I'm so glad things went well with the surgery so far. I knew it would! I'm sure he will have 2 perfect hands very soon! We will be leaving for WI either Friday or latest Sat. morning!!! It will be a lot of fun:-) I will still keep in touch of coarse and also send pictures of the girls and also pics of Tori when I get her in my arms. I can't wait!! Just like Christmas. LOL~~ Also Mikey brushed up the girls hooves today and also show shaved them! They look sooo nice. I will take some pics. We want to give them baths and then they will even look better. Its a huge improvement however. Can't believe what a bit of shaving does! She forgot pics so I'll be sending some to her as well. You have my cell numbers for if you want to chat and I SOOOO want to hear when the girls have their little ones and Pics are a MUST!!!
Hugs,
Lisa
