Recovery

Mike went in for surgery on his elbow Friday, 12/20/13.  It has bothered him off and on for the last several years.  But the pain has always eased or went away.  Not this year.  Bless his heart he has been in constant pain and after the surgery -- for good reason.
His Dr, Dr. Milek, told me afterwards he was glad we went ahead with the surgery because it wouldn't have healed on it's own.  The tear in the tendon was about the size of his thumb and the nerve that goes thru the elbow was pinched.  I was surprised by the size of the opening when they first took the bandage off.  Thankfully the pain has eased considerably ... The cabin fever is only getting worse though ... He is definitely not one to sit around doing nothing.
