After a couple of days with my arm in this d@mn sling, I may need some cough syrup myself.
The surgery was successful. The doctor removed the bone spurs and had to repair thr rotator cuff the best he could with what was left. I guess I'll never throw a fast ball again (for the first time). Once I recover fully, I should be able to resume cooking and fishing. Man, this typing with my left hand is sure slow and full of errors that need to be corrected.
