KB RRR
Waiting for Surgery
Today was R's surgery. It involved putting new weight-bearing surfaces into his elbow. He was born with elbow dysplasia. He came through fine, although the degree of damage inside his joint was far worse than expected. I was very glad that the world's expert on CUE surgery did the procedure. He had to slightly modify the usual implant locations due to the joint damage. R is now at the hospital, heavily drugged. He will be released tomorrow - but we are having a blizzard. My husband might stay down in the flatlands with him tomorrow if driving is impossible.
