A Very Long Day
Leroy is resting comfortably in the hospital. At least as comfortably as is possible after nine hours of extensive spine surgery.
The doctors found more cancer in the area that had been causing Leroy so much pain. They have done their best to remove it.
Before the surgery began, he went through more scans. They showed the "hardware" in his back from the original surgery was not where it should have been because a tumor had weakened the vertebrae.
So they fixed that, too, along with adding more support to the spine.
It was a very long day.
And, YES, he is using his pain button.
