39. Well, it wasn't fun ... but I did ask for it!

Sat Mar 8, 2014, 06:29 PM

Mar 2014

I'll probably never be pain free (weird arthritis) but I no longer have a 3" bone spur tearing my muscle every time I move my right arm, which is a vast improvement!

The left was just done a few months ago, so it's still cranky (the recovery is over a year for what I had done).

And thanks!
