Dads Surgery?

Today was the day of dads surgery for his rotator cuff. Camden asked ,"are they going to use a needle and thread or a staple to close up your arm?" I thought that was pretty funny. He said he wanted to see it-blood and all. I said that it would be all bandaged up and he actually looked pretty disappointed. What a weirdo. Dad looked good-just really nervous and anxious but he did go thru with it. Camden and I got to the room around 10am-we had to drive around for almost 20 minutes looking for a parking spot. They wheeled him out for surgery right about 11am. This picture was right before they came for him. I left right after he was wheeled out to take Cam to school. I was only gone about 25-30 minutes and when I got back to the waiting room, they were already done. Well, the Dr. came out to speak to mom letting her know they just could not fix it. He tried but he could only pull it about an inch leaving about 2 inches too short. They were able to clean out alot of the bursitis saying that would help with the pain. The Dr. also said that his bicep and all the other muscles looked unaffected so hopefully with range of motion exercises and possibly physical therapy, he will be able to use the other muscles to compensate. It was disappointing news but I am proud that he actually went thru with it. That is a BIG step for dad. Hopefully, with hard work, he will be able to have better motion with his arm and it will not be painful anymore.
