[Oe List ...] Dan's status report?

[Lee Early]

I talked with Dan for the first time since his surgery yesterday evening.  He is still in intensive care.  He is still in much pain.  The tricky part, at the moment, is giving him enough pain medication without him going off the deep end and hallucinating.  He sees things in this state.  He has a hard time forming sentences and that frustrates him even more.  His spine is seriously mis-shapen and no one knows whether or not the surgery will alleviate the pain that prompted all this to begin with.  I thought he did pretty well with sentences but, he will pause trying to think and articulate a word he looking for.  I believe we all do that from time to time.  

Regulating the pain seems to be the chief challenge for now.  

More when I have it.
