I’m pleased to report that my surgery on Wednesday went well. In an operation that lasted about an hour, my surgeon made four small incisions and put in two anchors to repair my torn labrum. He said the surgery went “perfectly” and that there was no damage in my rotator cuff.

I’ve been convalescing in relative comfort at home, thanks to my girlfriend, who’s been a great nurse throughout. I’m unable to do much of anything with my right arm, which is immobilized in a sling, so it’s been a difficult process to eat, and my typing has devolved into the hunt-and-peck stages. So I’m going to sit back and relax for another couple of days before trying to resume my regular blogging here. Thanks again to everybody who’s sent along their best wishes. It’s nice to know I’ve got friends out there. I’ll be back in the lineup soon.
