So, today marked a momentous day - the day that my future MiL (Mother-in-Law) relinquished nursing duty for her son. While this is a necessary rite of passage for any son, I almost think it would have been nice to have her swoop in and take care of both of us for a few days! The reality of "in sickness and in health" is setting in... ;)
All joking aside, he's being a trooper and the situation in his shoulder was not quite as bad as suspected. His recovery will be several months, but it definitely could have been worse.
The picture above is about 20 minutes before Erik had surgery on his shoulder. No, he had not been given any drugs yet. So far, he has not had any major discomfort and is intent on doing things for himself. Unfortunately (in his eyes) for him, I will be carting him around town until his follow up appointment in 9 days, at which point he will hopefully get the a-okay on driving independence.
And as a side note: It really hasn't been that bad taking care of him - in fact, I find myself checking in with him more than I should - both to his annoyance of being coddled and to the detriment of my studies.
Okay, back to work for real now.
