It’s been a week since the surgery, and things are progressing well. Nurse Powell has been diligently carrying out his tasks with much love, and Mel is definitely on the mend. The drainage tube (yuck) is finally out, the drugs are decreasing in supply and the stitches are scheduled for removal on Friday.

Some stats for your amusement:

$$ spent on medical care: $4,800
$$ spent on unanticipated living expenses in Athens: $3,000
$$ lost on our sailing trip: $1,300
# times Brendan made Mel feel guilty: 0
# times Mel would have made Brendan feel guilty if roles were reversed: about 25

We hope this will soon just be a bad memory (and perhaps one day a funny story?) of life on the road.

Thanks to all of you for your concern and support. And thanks to our travel insurance for making this less painful.

Now back to the Turkey blogs…
