Barron had surgery on his rotator cuff on July 8th. He did well and the surgeon was able to reattach the main tendon to his rotator cuff as well as his bicep muscle that was 50% torn off. Recovery has been stressful but I'm hopeful we're beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. He's not use to sitting around and is wanting do something other than watch TV and walk around Target and Walmart with me! He has started physical therapy so that will keep him busy. We see the surgeon tomorrow and he'll tell us when he can go back to work.....LIGHT DUTIES!!! They say it'll be 4-6 months to recover 100% and that's only if he really works at the physical therapy.
One of the pictures is right after I got him home from the surgery and he was not a happy camper. The other one is from his first physical therapy that started last Friday. I keep telling him that by Christmas he'll be back to normal (whatever that is)!
It rained today and he enjoyed walking around the backyard in the rain. I had to make him take his sling off so it wouldn't get wet! I happened to look out and caught him pulling a couple of weeds...oh well, it made him happy!

I can relate, I go stir crazy just sitting at home doing nothing! I hope his recovery continues to go well. Thinking about you guys.
BLESS THIS ANGEL WIFE OF MINE...BBB
