I think he is ready to leave!

The doctors came in to see Dwayne this morning and saw him like this:

The doctors think he is ready to leave!!!

He got rid of the IV pole last night. He said that it was so freeing not to have to take it with him every time he got up overnight. When the early morning doctor came, he asked if Dwayne was ready to go home and Dwayne said he was! The early morning doctor also said that Dwayne could take a shower, but not a bath (not to have the incision under water).
 
He wanted to take a shower, and it didn't make sense for him to put a hospital gown back on if he was going to be discharged, so he put his own clothes on, which is how the group of doctors found him.

We will need to find an urgent care clinic somewhere down the road to remove the staples. I asked if I couldn't just use the staple remover from the desk drawer and the doctor (laughing) said, "Ok, but we'll need to requisition a stick or bullet for him to bite on." Altogether, we were all laughing by the time they left.
