Glad you are doing, well. I remember the rotator cuff surgeries during my ortho rotation. They often were sick to their stomachs, more so than the total hips or knee replacements, because of the pain. Don't know if that is the type you had or not.

Good to know you are doing as well as can be expected.

Get lots of rest.

If you press the shift key with your nose, you can still capitalize with one hand.

If your doctor gave you the right pain meds, doing that will amuse you beyond
all belief.

My time on DU has been very limited since the last two weeks of August, so I haven't been posting as much.

Just know that I think you're one of the most special people here at DU & I'm hoping for the best in your recovery. I just hate it that you're having to go through so much.

had my shoulder all stitched up and had to peck using my left finger. ya i type using one finger.

glad to see ya back and if you are trying to sleep with that "pillow"...have fun. by the way if you had any stitching in your shoulder-arm muscles do not use your shoulder like you did before. i did and ripped some of the stitching. and have fun in rehab....

Don't over-stress yourself. For now, it's just good to know you are out of the hospital and resting comfortably. After your re-hab, we'll be looking for your ever-pleasant posts. Take care.

“I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)”
