They tell me that Rob is out of surgery, but I haven\’t been let up to see him yet. First they put him in the recovery ward while he\’s groggy. I really wanted to see him like that but, alas, not allowed.

We’re home from the hospital and I’ve already had to chase Rob away from the sink, where he was trying to do dishes with one hand. The surgeon came to let me know that Rob was finished around 11:00 but I had to wait another half an hour or so before they took me up

They’ve taken him to the back twice, now. The first time he came back and had to fill out more forms. The second time, was to do standard blood pressure and the like. We’ve learned that in addition to the shoulder block, they will also sedate him to keep his arm from “flopping around.” Two
