You all are too sweet!!!!
So here's the update: Surgery went great, and he's reasonably comfortable so far!!!! Woo-hoo!

They ended up doing ketamine, gabapentin, a local nerve block and a regional block, and a couple other pain meds tossed in for good measure. Pretty much covered all the bases to prevent a flare. The block is wearing off slowly, he's still kinda tingling and buzzing. He just regained movement and sensation to touch this morning. It's a relief that the block has lasted so long. With the first surgery, (hardware implant), it wore off abruptly after just a few hours. Such a relief to not have that happen again! He'll be on low dose gapabentin for a couple weeks to keep flare at bay while he heals.

Thanks so much for all your support! He's pretty happy the hardware is out. He has to use the ortho boot for two weeks to prevent refracture because it's like swiss cheese in there with all the screw holes. Then he can start walking with a shoe and we'll get a better idea of where he's at.

Thanks everyone! I'll keep you posted!
