Thank you all! I got home with him about 3 p.m. We won't really know until his follow-up tomorrow how extensive the surgery was, but it didn't take quite as long as we were told to expect, so I hope that means it wasn't terribly severe. Happily, they didn't inject a gas bubble, which complicates the recovery. He'll have to use three different eyedrops a few times a day for a couple months while it heals. I'm hoping he'll be cleared to work again soon---he was itching to start work for the temp agency when this hit. Fingers crossed and prayers for a good recovery. (And for my nerves, too, which are pretty shot after all that has gone on in the past few weeks.)
After I got Mr. home, I decided it would be a good time to go to the local garden center and wander through the Christmas displays, gifts, and decorations. (Mr. was okay enough to leave alone.) I swore I wasn't going to spend money on myself, but I fell in love with a ceramic Santa with a sack in which you can put candy canes or other treats. I'd like to fill it with candy canes and put it on my desk at work this season. (Not sure where, because I also need space for my little Christmas tree!)
