2 days after surgery

It breaks my heart to see my baby in pain....It's been a rough evening for him.  He was definitely better today than yesterday; he was smiling again today.  Still in too much pain to get moved off of the couch though.  I'll be so glad for his pain to be mild enough to move him to his wheelchair so I can take him for walks outside and he can have more action/stimulation around the house.  He's had a lot of frustration not only with the pain, but with the cast.  It doesn't allow him to bend very far so all I can do is prop him up a little with pillows, and then he has a hard time eating and drinking because he's halfway between sitting and laying.  The cast makes him sweaty and itchy which really bugs him.  Life still goes right along through it all though...still so many things around the house to do, and it seemed like all day I was running back and forth between Brad and housework and "to-do list" stuff.  This has been such an awful experience for him, and I would take his place in a second if I could.  Right now I'm just trying my hardest to make him feel comforted and taken care of.  The hospital was so awful and I don't want him to be scared anymore.  I can't even imagine how a baby is going to fit into this mix right now!  This doesn't seem real...this is not my life...
