Took leave today for an early eye exam and the. Got lost in things I’ve been wanting to do for weeks but work and busy weekends have gotten in the way. Dressed warm and comfortable on this cold day.

While in the end, the damage wasn’t as bad as predicted in my shoulder, it was in between for lack of better word. My surgeon said that it’s almost would have been better. Had you torn everything but right now there is a collagen patch that has been placed in my shoulder to heal the gap that is in there with the muscle tear and rotator cuff tear and ligaments, and he also feels that that will help to speed up the recovery process. As of now, I start PT next week and I’ll be in a sling for six weeks. Wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I appreciate you guys.
