Shoulder Replacement Surgery

[Guest guest]

Hiya everyone.  My right shoulder is gettin' the boot tomorrow.  I don't have to

be there until one o'clock in the afternoon.  Even though they still told me

nothing after midnight tonight.  That's more that twelve hours!  Without not

only food, or drink but medicine.  I told my parents I won't be able to move my

arm at all.  My Nana flew down from Winsconsin.  And my Dad's sister drove down

from Atlanta.  So I've got family.  This is the only surgery so far where no

one's asked me if I'm scared, and yet I kinda am.  This isn't like my hip

replacements, this is harder.  Harder to go through, and harder to perform on

the surgeon's part.  But I'm not really worried.  'Course, I don't really worry

much.  I keep telling my family that the solution to a part I'm stuck on will

hit me when I'm doped up.  I wouldn't be surprised.  Most of my best ideas come

to me when I'm in bed trying to sleep.  So why wouldn't a solution come to me

when I'm

on pain meds?  Anyways, I'll either have sending you guys updates on

me or my Mom.  But either way; no worries.
