Surgery Update

We're home! Ryan's surgery was a success! It was fast. Ryan's surgeon felt totally confident that he was able to fix the exact cause of Ryan's pain. Thankfully they were able to do most of it laproscopically. They did have to do one extra small extra incision, but I don't think it's going to make recovery more difficult.  They gave Ryan a lot of local anesthesia so they went light on the general anesthesia. He woke up pretty quickly and is feeling pretty good right now. Of course he's got some pills to keep him happy and pain free. Thanks for praying for him! Praise God for answered prayer! Now we've just got to keep Ryan pain free and I need to convince him that he will NOT be driving anytime soon (doctor's orders, but Ryan seems to have other ideas).

I just now saw that he was having surgery. I'm so glad it went well. May he recover quickly.

I hope you're feeling better too.
