After surgery, below, the Patient is hooked up to his cold water pump that circulates in the pad on his shoulder for 4 days. And you can see his nifty black sling with a support. He got to bring them both home.
The Patient is comfortably watching MSU basketball as I write. The pain block is still in his system. He'll take Vicadin before "bed" to help when the block wears off.-
"Bed" will be a recliner chair, most comfortable apparently for rotator cuff patients.

The surgery was fine, the doctor told me she repaired the rotator cuff beautifully, and she also found a bicep tendon that needed help. So she cut it! He has two on that bone after all! Who needs two? No, really, I trust her.
-
You see I am not showing many pictures of the Patient. That's because I waited four hours in the waiting room.
-
I slept.
I read.
I talked with a very funny bus driver waiting for his wife.
-
I drank coffee.
I watched CNN.
-
And I took pictures.
"Sıkıldım," we say in Turkish, which means a combination of boredom and anxiousness. "I was restlessly bored." I wanted to know how things were going.
Happily, the first stage of the ordeal is over and successful. Now on to the rest of the story.
Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone for your wellness wishes for the Patient! We were, and are, touched and encouraged by that.
