A treasured reader asked us through the comments the other day how we were doing post surgery. I appreciate his concern and appreciate even more his gentle nudge to open myself up and express myself more. I’m grateful to be part of a blogging community that is just that…community, a community that cares.
We are doing well. Fearsome survived uncut and unscathed. I got both scoped and cut.
The surgeon cut in order to open the top of the shoulder large enough to remove the rather large cyst that had developed on top of my right AC Joint. He then scoped into the AC joint and removed the end of my clavicle in order to clean out the arthritis that had caused the cyst to develop and then took a look at my bicep tendon as well as my rotator cuff. Both the rotator cuff and bicep tendon were in good shape so I got away with just a cyst removal and the clavicle clean up.
Pain has been tolerable and I am doing well as long as I don’t really do anything. So do nothing right now is the key I have discovered. Stitches come out this Thursday and I’ll be able to finally shower. Physical therapy will begin April 15th.
So during my do nothing time I sleep and I watch films. I also indulge in YouTube clips and just found this one. I’m not a religious man but I do enjoy a well performed gospel tune. Oh honey… is this performance fabulous. It’s truly a work of art that moved me to tears. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Hope you heal completely and quickly. I am sure it is hard to “do nothing”, but hang in there and let your body heal. Take care.
Glad to hear the surgery ended up being rather minor.
Thanks for the update. Glad your recovery is going well.
This performance is beautiful. I love Leslie Jordan and did not realize how well he could sing.

Thank goodness the surgery went smoothly. Now comes the healing!
Glad to see you’re on the road to recovery. In case you haven’t visited my new blog, I get my vaccine shots this month. The first one is Wednesday.
Good to read that the procedure was a success and you are on the mend.
