He was released from the hospital yesterday

He is still in a lot of pain, but he has this thing that numbs his shoulder (like novicane) still attached to his neck, and tons of pain pills. Fortunately, my in-laws are wonderful, and they are helping to take care of him so I can go back to work (which I am not really excited about doing!).

4 days in the hospital was more than we were expecting, but there were not any complications. It was just that painful! The x-ray people said, "wow, I've never seen this much metal in someone's shoulder before." Great.

Hopefully the staples (all 90 or so of them) will be out next monday.

Thanks for all of the well wishes. It has certainly been rough and exhausting, but I am grateful for good doctors and their ability to help fix it!
