Back to Surgery...

On Monday, while Dan was transferring out of his wheelchair, he heard a loud "POP" followed by severe pain.  Since then, he hasn't been able to transfer between his bed/wheelchair, etc., due to severe pain.  Mom took him in to the Orthopaedic surgeon today to check on the Ex/Fix and the severe pain.  They took X-Rays and determined that the left pin of the Ex/Fix has come out of position.  It must be repaired. 

Therefore, he will go back to surgery tomorrow (Friday) to reposition the Ex/Fix.  The surgery will be performed at UMC but we are unsure of the time at this point. 

We will post more details as we have them.

*Update: All of the pre-op blood work, chest x-rays, etc., taken today were normal.  Therefore, they can proceed with surgery tomorrow.  He is an "add on" to the surgery schedule tomorrow, but, most likely his surgery will start between 8 AM and 9 AM.  Jaime, the retired police officer that is a driver for Raider Ranch, will take them to UMC bright and early at 5:30 AM.
