Juan's Shoulder Surgery (Monday August 3,2009)

Juan during prep-time. He was happy and joking til.......;

Juan coming out of surgery in PAIN!!!!. He also wasn't fully awake and was struggling to walk and stay awake.

Juan still asleep after his surgery at 7:30am. It's about 1:00pm when I took the photo. He takes awhile to come out of anesthesia.

The stitches on the front side of his shoulder. He had a cyst bigger than a golf ball, dislocated shoulder and torn ligament. Yuck, and the surgery was painful. I asked Juan if he would get the surgery again and he said, "No way!!! It hurts worse than it did before." Juan is doing great and healing, it's just taking a while. He still has physical therapy ahead of him...OUCH!!!

When it is recovered and all healed...that is when you will discover why you had the surgery. I am sorry that you have to go through this. Follow the rules: take care of yourself- be patient and you will reap the rewards. Love, Mom/Gail

OUCHY! It is true...surgery usually makes it hurt worse than before the surgery, but hopefully after all the healing you will feel a lot better and be able to use it with no pain! Fingers crossed! Good luck!
