I'm happy to report that the surgery went well and I'm feeling good!
Dr. Perreria met with me after the surgery and explained that everything went smoothly there were no complications. The surgery was done in about 1/2 hour.
I'm super happy that Dr. Perreria's Post Surgery Instructions say 'Try to wean out of your sling as soon as possible to move your elbow gently' also 'You may resume light activities as soon as tolerated'. That contradicts my expectation of living with my Right elbow in a sling for most of 2 weeks. That makes it possible to use my Right arm at times, that makes it way easier to put my contact lenses in and floss my teeth.
Overall I have some elbow pain but not as bad as I thought.
Stoked to be done and waiting for Dawn to pick me up.
This is the light fabric sling, way better than what I was expecting.
Gotta keep the Ace Bandage on for 5 days. Looks puffy but that's plenty gauze over the incision area,
