Saturday update

Much better night. Dan had a stronger oral pain med at bedtime but still a little trouble getting comfortable. Had another dose about 0300 and then slept until almost 1100 this morning. I think he is past the worst of the post op pain. Next will be the rehab pain when a P.T. gets ahold of him. :>)

Thank you all for your comments and your prayers. Keep em comin.

Horrible night

Gave Dan 1 pain pill at 6:15 p.m. last evening when he thought the block was wearing off. Another at 8; another at 9:30 + 2 ibuprofen. He was pacing and rating his pain at a 10. Called his surgeon. Gave him 2 more pain pills and 2 ibuprofen at 11:15 but the pain was still 10. Had to take him to the ER in Wahoo for first IM and then IV pain medication. One of the blood pressures they took while he was still rating his pain at a 9-10 was 204/106. They kept him there for a few hours. I came home and slept for 2 1/2 hrs. and then went and picked him up. I gave him 2 Percocet at 0730 and he is finally sleeping.

Surgery done

Dr. Koch said that the tears were extensive. He typically uses 1 or 2 anchors but had to use 6 for Dan's repair. Says he will have to go very slowly with his PT. Hope Mike Spicka, PT is gentle!
Still impost op. will update later tonight.

Ready for surgery

EEG did not show abnormality but it wouldn't with a concussion.
He is ready for the lt. Shoulder repair at BryanLGH east. Will post later when all is done. I am counting on good news!
