Other than Jack’s surgery being delayed for some reason for two hours, and our day beginning at 5 this morning, everything went great today. He returned to his room at about three this afternoon with a bottle holding two bone chips, one rather large, which were found floating around as they “capped” the ball of his shoulder. These floating bits had been the original diagnosis before the shoulder replacement was considered and the doctor said both diagnoses had been correct. Jack was feeling no pain when I left the hospital a little after seven tonight. His only complaint when he awoke fully was that he had missed lunch which was to include apple strudel! He had no problem eating supper when it arrived and a friend brought him red grapes, so he was happy! He is in the room with a South African vet who also had surgery today (a chipped elbow from examining a horse), and they both were ready to sleep when I left. Pray that Jack’s shoulder will heal quickly with no complications and that the pain which the doctor assured him would begin later tonight, will subside quickly.
We have heard that Jack’s Mom is happy to be back at home but she does have some new “limits.” The tests ruled out all the expected causes of last Saturday’s problems, leaving the doctors unsure of what caused her to fall and have weakness in her legs.
Thanks for your prayers, Bert
