Just got Vickie home about 5:00pm today. I stayed with her all night in the hospital, she was doing good but I stayed to keep her company. Man that hospital food sucks, I don't think a wild lost dog would eat that stuff. She has a sore throat from the breathing tube. She is no longer complaining about pain deep down in the non union area of her bone. Now it is just surgical pain, which right after surgery she said was about 7/8 and right resting in the bed it is a 3/4. That is a big improvement. She has to wear a boot for six weeks. Thanks everyone for your calls, prayers, healing thoughts. We can't wait to see old friends and new members in Maggie Valley. Mickey has done an outstanding job and it looks like it is going to be a Legendary Event...Don't miss it if you can.
