Surgery went great!
Steve's surgery by Dr Guyer went wonderful on Thursday, Sept 8th. It's the 10th now, this morning he did a complete lap around the outside of the hotel (probably 1/5 of a mile). He had some shivers around 4:30 AM but was able to walk it off. The internet shows that to be from the hydrocodone. He has some pain between his shoulders and that is consistent with what others have already posted about. He's very happy to feel warmth in his hand that he hasn't had in months. He'll taper off the Gabapentin and be more able to tell the improvements so far. His incision site is not very sore at all. If I can attach a picture, this is Steve at 24 hrs post op.
