POST OP

Thank you everyone for so many well wishes, dinners, visits, help with kids, and phone calls to see how Tucker's doing. His surgery went very well. The tear in his labrum was a little worse than the doctor expected, but he was able to fix it and all is well. Tucker is doing great and already walking without crutches (although he shouldn't be)!
I thought I'd post a little journey through the whole experience for you to enjoy too! Don't worry, this is defiantely rated G, nothing graphic! I don't think Tucker would like pictures of his stitches on the web!

Off to the surgical center.
Waiting in the lobby.
Weighing in. He actually lost ten pounds anticipating this special day!
Waiting for the doctor. And still smiling!
12:50, our scheduled time.

Fifteen minutes late.
Oh, what to do while we wait...
and wait...
and wait...
and wait...
Fianlly, an hour later, time to go.

Not so smiley anymore. A little nauseas after the surgery...ok a lot nauseas!

Finally, 8:00 pm, time to go home.

And, home resting with his favorite little booger on his favorite spot on the couch!

Oh, cute pictures. I wish I could have been in on your surgery. I'm also not surprised to hear your not getting around with crutches. Hopefully, your feeling a lot better overall! Lots of love!

What a trooper. I love the picture with Kaleigh. I miss you guys SO much and I wish I could have been around to help out. Can I make it up to you later? I love you ALL!

Oh I hate waiting at the doctor's office! I'm glad that all went well. I hope Tucker heals quickly!

Glad his surgery went well. There's nothing like taking care of a man on crutches--how ya holdin up? I've almost decided that as much as I hate having surgery, it's easier than taking care of Dan when he does (don't tell him I said that:)
