One last surgery

Hi Everyone. It seems like it's an appropriate time to blog again, if only for a little while.

The last few months, Mom has been recovering quite well, but, alas, there is one more surgery before she can continue her recovery. Tomorrow morning, Mom will have a full shoulder replacement of her left shoulder. The shoulder had been fractured in the wreck, but the fracture wasn't discovered until a couple months after. At that point, doctors thought it was healing well on its own, however, grueling PT and subsequent scans revealed that the shoulder is pretty much... well, f*cked. Sorry, but it is.

I am in town for a week to help mom out during/post surgery. We will be at the hospital (Bone & Joint in OKC) bright and early tomorrow - admitting at 7:00, surgery at 9:00AM.

I'll be sure to update the blog when Mom gets out of surgery. It's just the easiest and most efficient way of letting everyone know what's going on. Geoff isn't here this time to help make all the calls... and for good reason - he and Heather are expecting their first child 8/17! So, Mom has lots to look forward to and needs a new shoulder so she can play with her new little grand baby. :)

Please keep us in your thoughts, prayers, send positive energy, healing light or whatever works for you. We're all anxious. It's not fun to relive what happened last September, but we are also very ready to have the surgeries be a thing of the past, so Mom can move forward in her recovery.

Much love and appreciation.
