Under the Knife

Tomorrow morning, I'll check into the hospital for day surgery to have my rotator cuff repaired and whatever else needs to be done once the doctor gets the camera in there and sees how much damage I've done.

I guess you really can't say I'm going "under the knife" since this is just arthroscopic surgery; it's not like they're going to cut me open.

Everyone I've talked to who has had this surgery says rehab is the worst part, but that's probably true of any surgery.

For me the difficult part will be missing out on pickleball, softball and golf this winter at the RV park in AZ.  Maybe I'll be far enough along that I can play cornhole.  The schedule I was given by the Dr. says it will be 9-12 months before I can resume normal activities.

But, I also don't want the continued pain in my shoulder if it can be repaired, so here we go!

I'm praying for a successful surgery, but even more important, I'm praying the anesthesiologist wakes me up when it's over.  Otherwise, I'll be playing shortstop for the New Jerusalem Saints on Friday.

Maybe my next update will be more interesting if I can type while under the influence of pain meds.😓😥
