thanks everyone!

we are home now. he had a very difficult time waking up from the anesthesia - he was screaming and thrashing so much that i couldn't even hold him and had to put him back on his bed. :(

he's well-dosed now (fentanyl and oxycodone) and will be on tylenol with codeine for the rest of the week. i'm about to go put him down for a nap and hope he can sleep away some of his pain. :(

thanks again for all the thoughts.

So glad to hear your update, April. Hopefully, he will sleep. Did they say how long he might be in pain?

P&pt for speedy healing! He'll be glad that you did this for him. I'm sorry the recovery part was rough. cry

Poor Jake, I'm glad he's doing better at home now. I'll be curious to know how his recovery goes. I need to schedule an appt for Kevin, too. He has adhesions that might need correcting, but I've been so hesitant about it. My poor boys and their penises (or is it penii) ;)

Glad to hear he's home. Hope he gets lots of rest and heals quickly. (My niece woke up from her surgery the same way. Guess it's fairly typical.)

Glad to hear he's home and things went ok. Bummer about the recovery, hopefully he heals quickly and is back to his normal self soon.
