The surgery was successful and Luke is "home" recuperating. We are both glad this part is behind him now. His arm will be pretty well immobilized for a couple of days. We will be back to the doctor on Wednesday for a post-op visit and to begin a little therapy. He'll be taking it easy till then, ice packs, pain meds as needed, arm elevated, etc. He is absolutely resplendent in his knee-high black compression socks, little blue non-skid booties, sling, ice pack (40 minutes of every hour for 48 hours, for swelling and to improve healing), plus a shirt that will go over only one arm. :-)
The plan remains to start back on Oct. 2, after Luke's 2 week follow-up visit. We are pleased to have an experienced sailor who will be accompanying us.
While we're here, we plan to rent a car and do some sightseeing in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, probably after his 1 week check-up. We can easily tailor that to how Luke feels.
Back with updates later and hopefully, some pictures of beautiful NH.
Thanks to all for your thoughts and best wishes!!!
