Good news, Marc is feeling much better. He's out of the ICU and upstairs, where he can enjoy all-you-can-eat chocolate pudding, and bottomless soda beverages. The pain is under control. finally. It still comes and goes but it's usually not as bad as it was the other night. Marc explained to me that The Boss knew exactly how he felt when he said: "It's like someone took a knife baby, edgy and dull, and cut a six inch valley, through the middle of my soul". But, I doubt the Boss ever had brain surgery; I imagine The Boss only slightly understands how Marc felt. Luckily, all that is in the past and bound to stay there.
It turns out, the motor skills in his left hand are a little compromised and he's having a hard time with depth perception. However, the doctors are confident that these things will be resolved with physical therapy.
Marc is walking around (slowly) and sweet talking all the nurses. His progress during the last 36 hours has been remarkable. He's not quite ready for visitors, but we're both feeling really optimistic after yesterday. So, we're enjoying that feeling.
nurses? bottomless chocolate pudding and soda? If it weren't for all the excruciating pain part, and the brain surgery, that would sound like a perfect weekend to me.
ReplyDeletesweet talking all the nurses, huh? even that 'murse' with the frosted hair??
ReplyDeletehaha, yeah. All of them. ...all the sweet ones anyway. :)

Wait, no giant hole in his head? No head shave? I was looking forward to seeing Marc with a bald head and a full beard. Glad to hear that things are going well though.
