John had shoulder surgery Thursday. We went in with a potential rotator cuff tear, torn labrum, and ligament damage from the MRI which would have been quite a lot of work and recovery for him. Turns out on actual inspection, he just had some stretched ligaments which have now been fixed. It will still take awhile to heal, but is a lot less painful and hopefully means fewer chances for issues later.
Right now he's tied up in a pretty complicated sling and wasn't allowed to even remove it for three days. Which means, no showers, no change of shirts, etc. for the last three days. This morning he finally got to be set free long enough for a shower and change of clothes. It is a few weeks before he is allowed to move the arm and even then it will be limited. So for super bonus fun, I get to do ALL the diapers for awhile. The only good thing is I can stick Zara in the bumbo and John has been doing the solid food feedings with the good hand.
But the good thing is the surgery went well and John gets to have a two week vacation playing PS3 on the couch.
