Operation for Zac

Night before the operation - Relaxing on the couch with Thatch.
He says he's not nervous.

Morning of the operation.
Zac had his Labrum repaired, and when they got in there, they found that his Rotator Cuff also needed repair, AND a bone spur needed to be taken care of. 

* The labrum is a piece of fibrocartilage (rubbery tissue) attached to the rim of the shoulder socket that helps keep the ball of the joint in place. When this cartilage is torn, it is called a labral tear. Labral tears may result from injury, or sometimes as part of the aging process.

* The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, keeping the head of your upper arm bone firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder. A rotator cuff injury can cause a dull ache in the shoulder, which often worsens when you try to sleep on the involved side.
Zac is about 3 weeks POST OP as of this post.
It's been a ROUGH 3 weeks.
Pretty Painful
REHAB starts tomorrow !

Here's a Birthday song for me - two days after his surgery.

And here's a picture from last night at the Midway Ice Castles.  Glad he is finally able to get up and around and out of the house.  Love that smile :)
