It's good to hear all these stories, it's amazing how they are all so similar. Our son an (08) had his surgery 3 weeks ago today, also performed by Dr. Andrews. The pain was pretty tough the first week, good thing for prescription pain killers We are now doing a little resistance work for the elbow and the shoulder and everything is going great. On a side note, we went on a visit yesterday to a successful JUCO here in GA and came away with a very good offer. Thing are looking up, a lot better than a month ago. Everybody keep the updates coming.
