Hi Everyone. DB here guest posting. ae is at home and doing fine after her surgery. The doctor said that it was best case scenario once he got inside to look around. The surgery lasted about 3 hours. The doc said that the first scope broke about half-way through and they needed to change it. I just told ae that and she said "I hope it didn't break off inside of me!" Well, I guess we will know the next time we head through a metal detector. Other than that, I had 5 good hours of reading old Time magazines. That is all for now. I need to have ae sign some papers while she is still groggy...............KIDDING! One thing to note, it is just as hard to wake ae up in the morning to go to work as it is to wake her up for shoulder surgery. I will post more pictures tomorrow.






Glad to hear that everything went well! Get better fast.

Hooray for ae! Thanks DB! BTW, if she already signed, I want 5% to keep quiet!

Three cheers for ae! I actually thought of her this morning as I passed a "Shoulder Work" sign on the highway. :-)

Good luck with the recovery, ae. We can't wait til you're back on your feet. Er, shoulder.

When I had knee surgery, I asked the prep guy if he would shave the other leg when he finished doing the pre-op shave on the afflicted knee. He tried to force a good laugh. I'm sure he's heard that one a million times. I liked the day after, when the medicine made me feel better, but hated the next day, when I didn't want to be groggy, but I wanted to be pain-free. There's no middle of the road until a week afterwards.

Whoohoo! That's great, thanks for the update.
(So: what kind of ice cream? We're talking flavor *and* brand, please... ;))

Heal well and quickly. Surgery sucks but often it is worth the time and painkillers.
