Day 11-12: September 18-19, 2014
On Thursday. September 18, we checked out of the hospital. John and Sharon Gibbs drove from Berlin to Erfurt to take us to Berlin to rejoin the tour group for the rerurn flight.
We went to the airport early on Friday morning for our flight to Newark. In Newark we would connect to a flight to St. Louis.
When we landed in St. Louis it was obvious that Rich needed more hospital care.
Carol took him to the hospital from the airport.
He was admitted into the ICU with complications.
After 2 days in the ICU and 2 more days in a regular room Rich was released to recover at home.
The St. Louis surgeon who took over Rich's shoulder surgery remarked that teh German surgeons did a very good job.
Rehab will take anywhere from 6 months to a year.
