i'm recovering from my shoulder surgery. the surgery went well, but i'm in for a long recovery.

i had a torn rotator cuff, my labrum was torn off the ball of my shoulder, had a bone spur in my shoulder and some bursitis (inflammation) that they had to clean out. :(

my right arm will be in a sling for at least 6 weeks but i cannot lift anything or move my arm above chest level for at least 12 weeks. i'll also be sleeping in a recliner during that time.

all in all, i'm doing ok. the pain is worse than i anticipated, but i am managing it.

thanks for all of your encouragement & prayers!!
blessings!
