Back in June while we were in Mexico we think is when Louis tore his rotator cuff. We had just finished dinner one night and as he reached up with his left hand to grab his seat belt in the car, he felt a searing pain and actually couldn't move his arm for a few moments. It hurt him some the next morning, but he took some Ibuprofen and was ok after that. It continued to bother him when he'd play gigs so I finally convinced him to see his doctor. An MRI was performed and sure enough, he had a torn RTC. So he had his rotator cuff surgery yesterday. He did really well and is feeling ok. He was very groggy when I got him home and has only taken one pain pill so far. He has this giant pillow that is attached to his sling and he has to sleep with that on. He is really stubborn and will not let me do a lot for him, but I am being a good nurse all the same.
Last night was Chris’s first high school choir performance and Louis wasn’t able to go because he was still so groggy. I was tired from being with him at the hospital most of the morning so I didn’t take the video camera. The choirs all sounded really good. Chris is one of just a few Freshman that made the Chambers Choir. This year, he has a tux that he wears for performances. It was neat to see Chris in his tux. He looks really handsome in it.
Here is a picture of Louis after he came home from the surgery and Chris in his tux.
