The Neverending Story...

is a great movie, by the way, but unfortunately the saga of Rubin continues. He came home yesterday and was doing really well. He was able to get up and down on his own and was feelng pretty minimal pain. This morning he woke up and was miserable. He was in severe pain and could not get out of bed without screaming. We called the doctor a couple of times but nothing she suggested helped at all, so we came back to the hospital once again. They did a CT scan in the ER and found a pocket of fluid forming under the incision, which usually means an abscess. The surgeon will be in tomorrow to talk to us about what to do next, but it sounds like they will have to go back in there and drain it. He is still in a ton of pain but hopefully they can get it under control enough for him to get some sleep. Will update tomorrow.
