Mid-Week Update

We had an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon, and the good news is that my Dad doesn't need surgery. The not so good news is that this kind of break may take six weeks to heal, so he'll be on limited duty for a while but gets better every day. He has a checkup with the doctor again in two weeks and will be able to start some rehab exercises to get the arm and shoulder back to normal.

I will stay the rest of this week to see how he's doing, then get his list of friends and such to help him out as needed.

Thanks' for all the positive thoughts; much appreciated.

    This is indeed good news!! As a dutiful son you will line up the monitors to ensure Dad is doing is therapy/rehabilitation as required. As you know, patience is key. Wishing Dad a speedy recovery.

    I am sure that, like the good son that you are, you will be preparing a load of meals for the freezer for your Dad to make sure he's eating well to help him get well

    Will your dad be able to drive his car when you have flown home?

      Not right away, but he has a friend who will help him with that [driving] especially now that he doesn't need surgery.

    Well that certainly good news he doesn't need surgery. Also on the plus side at least you get to spend some time with your father. We're just glad all is well involved.

    Really good news. No surgery is always best if it is an option. Just hope he is not as stuborn and pig headed as I am. Physical Therapy/Rehab is not painless and I bitch and moan every step of the way.
