The eagle has landed...and there is no pain...YET

Bubba's surgery went over without a hitch. No problems at all, unless you count him being a tad combative upon waking up from anesthesia. :) Now he is equipped with a high tech cold pressure thingamajig called a "Game Ready" that we have to strap on his shoulder and run it for a half hour. Turn it off for an hour and then do it all over again. So far, he has no pain, but I have to run to the drug store to get his pain meds for when his pain block wears off. For your enjoyment..here are a couple of photos from today.

Here is how concerned my parents were as we waited. :)

And here is the star of the day just after surgery.

Thanks to everyone for your nice words and prayers! I love you all!

Combative is a typical reaction. My poor dad, a very quiet man, was with me when I was coming to after surgery, the nurse came over to check me and I started yelling at her. Words like whore,bitch,scumbag, needless to say, I didn't know I was doing it and he was very embarressed. She laughed and told my dad not to worry, happens every day.
