Kyle's Surgery

Well Kyle went to Las Vegas to have surgery this past tuesday. He had an anterior/posterior back fusion. They went thru his belly and put a plate on L4-5 and L5-S1. Then they flipped him over and put a plate and rod on the same vertebreas thru the back. Dr. Kabins did the surgery and he said it went perfect. Kyle is doing good but he is in alot of pain as expected. Today he has gotten up 5 times and this last time he moved so much faster. I think he is making great progress. I went to take a picture of him but my batteries were dead. I will have to stop at the gift shop at the hotel and buy some. He is staying at UMC and I'm at Palace Station Casino. Both places are nice. The people at UMC are so nice except Kyle's nurse today. He seems to think that Kyle doesn't need any pain meds. I think Kyle has thought about killing him but I won't let it happen. I will keep you posted and hopefully be able to get a picture. Maybe I'll ask him when he has had a few pain meds on board. He pretty much does whatever I ask then. I got him to walk to the door which was huge for him.
