Some of you know, while others may not, that Bobby had surgery on 2/19 to remove a cyst from his arm. While the surgery was successful, it certainly didn't go as we had planned. It was supposed to be a 30 minute operation....ended up being over an hour. He was supposed to have a 1/2 inch incision, ended up with a SEVERAL inch long incision. He was supposed to have a small bandaid, ended up with a partial cast from his fingers almost to his elbow! The doctor explained that when he began the operation, he found that Bobby had an extra blood vessel in his wrist that other people don't have. And the cyst was between these two blood vessel with a root that went down the arm. They were able to get it all though so that's a good thing. Here's a pic of Bobby recovering. He is still having some pain, but went back to work today.
