Skelegro

Harry Potter was right. ... skelegro IS very painful.

By the time Grant finished up with the surgeon and we had some dinner last night, I headed out to fill his prescription for pain med.  Unfortunately,  the DEA number on the perscription was wrong, and the pharmacy couldn't fill it for me. I sent a text to the surgeon (he had given me his cell number before he headed out with his family for the holiday weekend.). He wrote right back and said he would take care of it. I headed back to the hotel to deal with this in the morning (Grant still had some of the previous perscription left).

This morning, I headed back to the pharmacy,  but no luck. Then I drove to the surgery center. ... They were closed for the holiday weekend.  My next stop was the ER. They couldn't replace my perscription without seeing Grant. So,  back to the hotel to drag Grant back to the ER (there was no wait! )  After about 45 minutes, we managed to get a perscription that could be filled.

I learned later that, shortly after my text, the surgeon had another medical emergency he was consulting on, and he had forgotten our perscription.  He apologized. ... several times.

Grant is being very stoic about the pain, but I can tell he's VERY uncomfortable.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better.  The experts seem to think this will be the worst part today.
