Surgery Round 2

The doctor thought there was value in performing a second ablation, this time targeting nerves farther down on Buck's neck. As you can see, there are more needle points/holes this time. Overall the surgery process was easier than the first round. This was not done at the hospital, but in the pain clinic office. The anesthesiologist was efficient and helped eliminate the nausea issues that came with the first surgery. He did have more bruising at the IV point on his hand. He looked pretty groggy when they let me back to see him, but he was able to leave within an hour of the surgery being completed. It was great that Buck had the next two days off from work. Today he went back, but was in a lot of pain, so he came home early. It's too early to tell if this was effective in the ways we hope, keep praying!
