REALLY home free...

Well, our Crisco is officially on his way home from the hospital.

I talked to the patient just a moment ago, as Escort Ann Marie tried desperatly to avoid any bumps in the road on the familiar route home. Any sudden movement would certainly hurt like heck, so it's nice to know that Nurse Ann Marie is already taking excellent care of Chris. Not that we had any doubt...

But like I said, the hospital is now a thing of the past. No more questionable meals, since Cook Ann Marie is quite gifted in the kitchen. Although Chris did say he enjoyed a tasty eggplant parmesan yesterday. His comment about the hospital food was that each meal's menu contained at least one really delicious item--it was just a matter of figuring out what that item was before you were served something that resembled a piece of soggy cardboard on a plate. But with no red jello being served at that particular joint, I wonder how difficult it was to find anything as yummy.

The good news is, Chris talked to his surgeon today, and was told that his Ross procedure was one of the best ever performed. That Chris' heart was in the perfect condition to receive the procedure, and that his healing process was moving along brilliantly.

But sorry, Dr. Surgeon. It's no news to us that Chris' heart is perfect. We could have told you that ages ago.

Welcome home, Uncle Crisco.
