Shoulder Surgery

Remember in September when Coby dislocated his shoulder during family softball?  Well Coby tore his Labrum (the muscle that holds your shoulder in place) about 85% of the way and has needed surgery ever since.  He has been putting it off as long as possible, but I'm not having a newborn and a one-armed husband so instead I'm 8 months pregnant with a one-armed husband.  Hopefully by the time this baby comes he will have some movement with his arm with physical therapy.  It will be tight for a while since they had to put 4 anchors in.  He will be very limited for about 6 months and hopefully close to a full recovery in a year.

After surgery I went in and he kept telling me he was just so tired, but then he kept trying to take the sling off and roll over.  Other than that he said nothing funny besides asking a few of the same questions over and over since he forgot he asked them.  We both handle our anesthesia well and don't do anything crazy.  Boring right?!

Pre-Surgery and the next day before taking his bandage off.
(I was nice and didn't take a picture after surgery when he was super out of it)

ps. When it comes to pain and limitations... there is a reason the men don't get pregnant.  Just sayin.

Well now it's all over. Just don't do anything again like Jeff did and you'll be fine. It's not fun getting it fixed again.
