Now the recovery process begins. Since things where worse it looks like he will be off work longer then the 8weeks we thought maybe more like 12 now to allow the bicep to heal cause of the kind of job he has he can't go back till he can lift again. Little worried how we make it that long on less pay with his disability will be a few lean months for us. Friday starts his PT already. Right now he is hooked up to a ice machine that is attached to his shoulder and pumps cold water over it 24/7 to keep the swelling down. I have to fill the machine up with new ice and water every 6hrs or so. So far the only pain is in his back, he has a nerve block on his arm and it has not worn off all the way yet so for now his shoulder is not too bad.
Going to be a challenge to help him through his recovery and also do our IVF. After we got home today I ran into town to the local lab to do my FSH labs tonight. Friday after I take dh to his pt he is riding along with me to see my RE, I'll have to do the driving for now which is hard on me as I have driving anxiety so praying the weather is good. Got to think of questions and what I want to go over with my RE for this IVF cycle so we can have a good plan going forward.
Thankful that tomorrow we have no apt's and we can both rest. Before his surgery I had him help me with a ton of cleaning and pick up outside etc. cause I knew he would have no use of his arm for awhile, so glad we got stuff done. I am worried about snow though still need to find help if it does snow for removal.
