A Week Later
It has been a little over a week since Bobby had his surgery and he is doing well. He is still in pain but has taken himself off of the pain meds. However, his bicep has started spasming, which was expected, and is a little more painful that he anticipated. He is bored and is having a hard time sitting and relaxing since he has been doing that since November. He has his first appointment on Monday with the doctor so hopefully he will be cleared to drive. He just wants to get out of the house for a while and have the freedom to decide when to do that. You don't realize how nice it is to be able to just get up and go whenever you want to until you are forced to give up the keys.

Someone Needs to Post More
Why am I so bad at this? Every time I think about posting I get distracted and start doing something else- I should be better at this!
I wanted to post a quick update on todays events. Bobby had surgery again today on his right shoulder. Somehow, somewhere, something happened and when he went to get released to go back to work it was discovered that he had a full tear in his rotator cuff. So after being off since November, it was back to the table and will be six more months off work.
His surgery wasn't until 12:45 and everything was right on time. The anesthesiologist was in the room at 12:30 to begin the meds, gave him the nerve block and they took him back right after. The Dr. said the surgery went well and he is very confident that everything was fixed (again). (The pictures of the tear were amazing! I can't believe it was so big- no wonder Bobby was in so much pain!)
But we got home and he was feeling good enough to sit on the porch with his cooling machine (this really cool device that has a wrap that goes around his shoulder and has 43o water circulating through it- a safer way to ice) while I went and filled his prescriptions. He seems to be feeling better than last time; at least he is in a better mood. Hopefully he can get some sleep. I have to make sure I can keep him medicated because when that nerve block wears off in a few hours I'm sure he will be hurting. Please keep us in your prayers.
