Kyle had surgery yesterday on his right shoulder and they went into the left knee again because it has been locking up since the last surgery. They also drained a bunch of fluid off of his right knee. Dr. Mattsson is 72 years old and said Kyle's shoulder had the worst impingement he had ever seen so I imagine he has seen a few in his years as a doctor. This means the bone and the rotator cuff had no space between them. They had to grind about 3 mm off of the bone so it could move freely. His knee had a hole in the meniscus and a tear in the muscle on the side of his knee. We have no idea how he managed to do that in the last 9 weeks since the last surgery. His knee will need to be completely replaced in about 3 years or so.
It was a long day yesterday. He didn't even go into surgery until 6:15 last night. They got him settled in his room a little before 10:00. He hadn't been able to have anything to eat or drink since the night before so he was a little hungry to say the least.
The numbness has worn off of his shoulder and now the pain has hit. He is miserable and it could be a really long night.
