The most unagreeable patient

Hardly a week after surgery, getting multiple parts removed from the entire ENT area, Bill is back and work and functioning like nothing ever happened. The voice is (finally!) back, his throat pain is lessened (although not completely gone), and is breathing much better already. And who could believe that the snoring is ALL GONE?!? This is the guy who yelled at me for not taking any Rx for a cold, but refused to take ANY pain medication after his surgery. I can only wish to be half as tough as my husband...
