Just got off the phone with Susie, Matt's lovely wife. He is in a lot of pain from the surgery itself and unable to get comfortable, but things went well enough that he will be coming home in the morning as scheduled. As to how the surgery went, my understanding is that until he's healed a bit from the incision and intrusion into such a sensitive area it's difficult to tell. It sounds like the surgeon was guardedly optimistic. The fact that he's in pain is at least to me good news in that no nerves were severed and the fact that he's moving around in bed trying to find a comfortable position is more good news in that vein. I hate to see my bro suffer, but if there's a light at the end of the tunnel then it's for good. Not sure what his state is gonna be tomorrow, so if he hasn't posted something tomorrow night, I will. Thanks to everyone who's posted on the thread, I know it means a lot to Brother Beags.
