December 4

Hi, Everyone,

I just got home from the hospital, where Denny is sound asleep. He's exhausted from the walking that he has to do to prevent more clots from forming. The pain must be terrible because I've never heard him complain and/or groan like he does when he is walking. The doctors and nurses have told us it will slowly get better as the large clot that is causing the pain dissolves. The pain goes away within minutes after he returns to bed or to a recliner, so he doesn't take any pain medicine at all. They tried giving him some prior to one of his walks, but it only made him lightheaded and it didn't do a thing for the pain. I have a feeling we're in for a long couple of weeks as he recuperates.

He'll be coming home either tomorrow or Saturday. I'll keep you posted until he is ready to start writing again.

Good night!
Carla
