Thanks again everyone!!
Quote: Just walked in the door (11:50pm)... that was so hard leaving him there at the hospital.... I know he is totally drugged and probably will not even remember me saying goodnight.... there was a message on the home machine from the Dr saying he would be in to Shane between 6:45-7AM....so I guess I better get my butt to bed so I can be there... I had planned on getting up at 6:30am...oh well...my baby is worth it. They replaced the radial head and repaired the ligament... he had a block put in so he can't feel any pain (it's numb) from the shoulder down... that could last up to 12 hours... so about 5:30am... I was able to spoon feed him some broth & Jell-O... then he was READY for sleepytime... he has been out pretty good since then (10:30pm).
OK... off to catch some ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzz.....
Thanks everyone for your well wishes....I will let him know....
xoxo

He is in surgery now...I just ran home to get his eyeballs (glasses) a few other items he requested and a bite to eat.... they fixed the dislocation about 2 hours after we got to the ER (which was 7:15am)... he does not remember ANY OF THAT part... he fractured (sp?) and shattered a bunch of stuff in the arm at the elbow and it is now being opened up and "replaced" the parts that shattered could not be saved. He will hopefully come home wed evening... and will not go back to work until Monday at the soonest.... 6-8 weeks before he can bike (that is his big concern) LOL The best part.... it is his left arm and he is left handed... So, guess I'll be playing Mrs. Nurse for a week or so... poor guy...
