The next few days were a blur for Tony. The last thing he remembered about Wednesday morning was the nurse strapping him onto the gurney and telling him to relax. Since two procedures were performed, the surgeon gave him general anesthesia. He vaguely remembered Laura helping him up the steps and onto his bed. Pain and semi-consciousness filled the next two days. Dr. Ausberger prescribed a strong dosage of acetaminophen and codeine that kept Tony asleep most of the time.
