Angela went through surgery yesterday. Doc is very happy with condition of bone. When they opened her up several fragments of bone fell out. They did not have to replace the whole head. The damaged area was removed from the center and the knob was resurfaced to accommodate a metal cap. It was attached via a pin (shorter than expected) driven into the center of the bone. Doc said otherwise bone was in great shape. She'll get another 10 years out of her shoulder.
Pain level was extraordinarily high, typical of shoulder replacement. She had a catheter ran into her neck into the should area into a bundle of nerves. That was enough in of itself. It did the trick.
Last night was a different story. Pain took over, heart rate went crazy, had everyone on edge considering her heart issues. Finally got everything under control this a.m.
May be able to go home tomorrow with nursing care in house.
She is groggy, still smiling and asking everyone who comes into the room what their name is and how they are doing...

Just gave her a suppository...gotta run...

more later. thanks for checking in.
