Update
Gary was moved out of the ICU to the neuroscience step down room. The nurses told him that this is the last stop before he can leave the hospital. He was told by the neurosurgeon that he will be out of the hospital and able to come home on Tuesday. Despite experiencing some pain around the surgical site he is feeling almost back to normal. He was told that he will be starting radiation therapy two weeks after he is released from the hospital and that it will last four to six weeks. The nurses and doctors are all in awe by how quick he has recovered from the operation. They said most people who have this kind of operation are out of the hospital between 5-12 days and Gary will most likely be home in 4.

I was thinking.. Gary should take a 4-6 week vacation out in Scottsdale AZ. I know a radiation therapist that just moved out here and could take great care of him! :) But if a vacation's not in order, I can always put in a good word w/ the radiation therapists I worked w/ and did clinicals w/ to make sure that they'll take care of him. I'm assuming the R.T. will be done at University? They are a wonderful group of therapists, I can vouch for that. I'm glad to see that everything has been going to smoothly, and I hope it continues this way.
