A Jon update: We've been to two doctors and the ER guys were wrong. Jon has a concussion and a Grade III AC joint dislocation. He can do surgery or not, his choice. It will heal-most likely-on its own without surgery, but it will never be the same and it will leave him with a deformity on his left shoulder. If he does do surgery then the repair will be slightly better then not doing anything. So after consulting his Primary Doc he has decided that with the type of work that he does he will do the surgery. If he didn't do the surgery there is always the possibility that he will need surgery at a later date. Regardless his shoulder will-as the doctor put it-"never be as good as what God gave you". So we are just waiting for the surgeons office to get back to us with a surgery date. We remain grateful that it isn't worse. Now I just want you all to know that Jon has always said that I have a horrible bed side manner(to him). But I have been a good little nurse and treated him like Gold and spoiled him rotten. I suppose that it has to continue through his recovery(darnit!!) I made him promise me that he'll be nice during his recovery, b/c I've seen this surgery and it sure doesn't look like it feels good. I've asked Jon if I could scrub in on his surgery.....he gave me a resounding "NO!!" You know I just think he doesn't want me to have any fun. He said that if I were allowed to scrub in, he'd end up with a catheter in his "you know" and tubes elsewhere...all for my sick sense of humor. The sad thing is he's right....It really would be funny, ya know!!!

He, he, time to get back at him!!! I am glad that he is okay though even though he will need the surgery.
Glad to hear than Jon is doing OK for the most part. I will keep both of you in my thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery. Don't beat him up to bad ;)
Sounds like he is feeling alot better......what a relief.
Ann, you could have so much fun if you scrubbed in on this one!!!!!
Oh well, best to be nice cos you never know when he might be repaying the favour.
Glad he decided on the surgery, he'll be fine, you'll take good care of him! And yes I could send some "presurgery" cookies!
Best of luck!
You are so nice to spoil him through this. I am sure it hasn't been easy for either of you. It is a relief that it isn't worse, but too bad that his shoulder is hurt. I hope the surgery goes well and you guys get through this O.K.!!
