Headache

They have been asking John, if 1 is very very mild and 10 is the worst you could possibly have, rate your headache. Before the surgery he said he was a 1. Post surgery he has been a 10.

The good news is late last night they gave him another drug (Dilaudid) which seemed to do the trick. Apparently it's a trial and error type of methodology to determining how to rid the pain. I believe this was their 5th attempt!

A small update: last night he slept really well which I'm sure is exactly what he needed. His appetite has been poor but his fluid intake has been constant.
