He really was loopy - he let me drive all the way home from Albany - not that I was going to let him loose with the car in his present condition.

We stopped in Mass. for a 'comfort break' and, as we got out the car, he told me that he would drive the rest of the way. By the time we got back to the car he had decided that I had better finish the driving. Whatever the painkillers are they're pretty strong!

Wonder of wonders, I've barely heard a peep out of him for 24 hours now! He really is taking the voice rest seriously.
