Shouldering On
.: Tomorrow morning my Mom goes into the hospital for shoulder replacement surgery. She is predictably anxious and concerned, as am I and the members of my family. However, my understanding is that this type of surgery is very successful and we are all hoping it will help her enormously, both in reducing the severe pain in and in increasing the mobility of her left shoulder. Some years ago, she experienced complications in that region resulting from bacterial infection, and it hasn’t been the same since. So Mom, I send you good thoughts, much love, and prayers for your operation tomorrow, and will be thinking of you tonight and all day tomorrow!

Wish your mum good luck from me Randy and please keep us informed on how it went. My mother has now had both of her knees replaced (the last one at 86 years old) and it sure made a big difference in her life.

Hope your mom is doing good. I would think that sort of surgery is pretty common and fairly safe. I just had my mom go through having a part of her lung removed for cancer about 4 weeks ago and she seems to be doing pretty well. She was at the casino today and won $675, so i guess she’s on the mend.

Good luck to her. It’s hard being far away as these things happen to our parents, isn’t it?
