Update

Hey,hey,hey. Here I sit, posting single handed. Thank goodness I got my left hand to type and misspell with. Had first session of therapy yesterdayFri) Had me lie on my back, take 3lb weight i right hand(surgery side). curl it up 30 times, turn hand over, palm up, curl it up 30 times. Then turn weight on end and strike in hammer, just hand, motion 30 times. Gave me some sort putty substance, squeeze/mold and raise and lower several times so elbow won't lock up. Then had me bring shoulder blades together 30 times. Gonna do this sittin up from now on. Then they had me put left hand on end of a table, lean over, swivle my hips to the left, with gravitatioal pull swiveling my right arm. Then back to the right. Then moved to sided of table and rock in bowlers motion movin arm forward . & backward. Oh, when i first laid down, therapist took right wrist and gently rotated that arm a good distance to get feel of beginning range of motion. PT sessions 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Exercises can also be done at home.
They asked me where I wanted to work toward and I told them like I was before and able to hanlde 50+ lbs to start with. Well those goals should take me into November, but should be out of work totally that long.
Ya'll have a great week week end. Think I'll flex my shoulder blades

Gene had his surgery today on his shoulder. Everything went well. The doctor said that there was some old injury in his shoulder also. He had one spount of feeling pretty well this afternoon and he called his dad, the boys, and his work. It has all been downhill from there. He has been sick to his stomach all afternoon. He slept for a while tonight and then woke and got sick again. He'll be sleeping in his recliner. He is to sleep at an elevated angle and he feels that he'll sleep better in his recliner.
