Surgery went well and we've got him home. They ended up having to put in two anchors as the tear was more than expected, based on the arthrogram read. The only real snag on our part is we underestimated the pain he would be in. I haven't seen tears in the kid's eyes in probably a decade, until the journey from the car to the couch this evening. It had to have been excruciating. With already very short hindsight, I would have insisted on a block in the shoulder area. I think they would have done it had I simply asked. I think a lot of it also has to do with the disorientation and discomfort from coming off the meds but it was so hard for me to experience that, after having not seen him like that since he was a child, that I nearly cried as well. We've got him settled and have our marching orders so the real work now begins. Thanks again for all the support.
