Brady is at home today recovering from his second surgery. Dr. MacArthur performed the surgery yesderday, December 4th, which lasted about one hour. He attached a plate with two screws to the top of Brady's radius and relieved the carpal tunnel with another incision. He didn't have a block this time, and was instead given general anesthesia. Recovery is not as pleasant this time, even though last week was hell!

Brady went to his doctor for his first follow-up appointment since surgery last Tuesday (November 25th). The doctor loved how his foot looked . . . it's healing beautifully. His wrist, however, was another story. He immediately scheduled Brady for a second surgery this Thursday, December 4th at 7:00 a.m. We'll need to be at the hospital by 6:00 a.m. for surgery prep and he'll have the bottom side of his wrist operated on. The operation will be similar to the first - a plate with pins on the bottom side to match the plate and pins on the top. Poor guy. He was hoping he was on his way to recovery and this'll further delay him. He's not one to lie down and give up but these things have a way of tetting you down even if you don't want to.
