Susan, having just nursed my husband for the last 6 mos, I can TOTALLY understand!!!
They can be such pains at times!!!
All I can offer is at least the worst is over, now the healing begins. I told my husband to just look at it 1 week at a time in the beginning. Each week, he could see measurable progress. Now we measure it by months as the healing slows down. But I understand patience is NOT their virtue!!!!
Glad to hear everything is good so far. Just keep that pillow handy if he gets to cranky!!
