Surgery update

Everything went well.  The doctor said that I have really loose joints and that he was suprized that I had never dislocated my shoulder. He had to rebuild the cartilage because of cuping around the numeral head it was flat. This shoul stabilize the shoulder. He also gathered the.slack cartilage aalnd repaired the tear. Unfortunitly he.doesn't know the prognosis of what my range of motion will be in the end. This is due to the looseness of the.shoulder and abnormal shape of the cartilage. ( not to be confused with flexability.)  I will have my dressing change done by Purdue doctor and then see the surgeon again in a month. So far I feel pretty good as long as I am consistant with my needs and I ice every hour. Jeff and friends have been wonderful. I will not be driving much till I am odd the mess and holding Elise is tricky but I have two wonderful kids to help me whenJeff is not home.  One day down30 to go!
