Matt's shoulder surgery

So we just got the call from Matt's surgeon that he will be having arthroscopic shoulder surgery on Christmas Eve!!
Two years ago when Matt had the accident at the Porters swimming pool he sliced open his patela tendon (which was repaired with surgery immediatly after the accident) and dislocated his shoulder. Since then his shoulder has not been the same. It has not effected his golf game, but it is hard for him to throw a baseball or football and it pops in and out all the time.
About a month ago we found out that our health insurance is changing at the start of 2009 and Matt decided that we should take advantage of our current insurance, so he met with the surgeon that did his knee surgery and told him that if he could be fit in before the end of the year, to call us. Thankfully they had an opening for December 24th at 10:30 a.m.!
The recovery time is about three months (which is just before the baby is due). So it will work out perfectly.
He is a little worried about the surgery, but now is as good a time as ever to get it repaired and get all fixed up.
Wish us luck :)
