Day Five

Ron’s surgery was last Wednesday. I got him into Spaulding and am not sure exactly how that happened, but am immensely grateful to their head of admissions and to Ron’s Worker’s Comp administrator.

Spaulding Cape Cod is an affiliate of the Boston rehab center of the same name which was ranked #5 in the country by US News and World Report. It had a fine reputation in its own right as RHCI.

Ron’s been spartan about the pain. I think he’s relieved to have the operation over with, and he’s taking heart from a vast improvement in his flexion. He’s got some tough days ahead, though.

Today, he’ll be busy from 8:30 to 2 pm, a short day because it’s the weekend. Tomorrow will be a holiday schedule. The dreaded Memorial Day is here.

I’ve been admiring the beautiful Scaevola I purchased for only $12.95 last night at the Sandwich Stop & Shop. Bought a pretty yellow iris from the same lady that sold me some gorgeous plants two years ago. The roses should be stunning by the time Ron gets home.
