My wife went in for shoulder surgery yesterday. They detached the bicep, and moved it, and of course reattached it. Then removed some of the clavicle, and removed some bone spurs and bursitis. We got there at 9:45 and did not get home until 5:00 PM.

It will be 2 weeks before she can go to physical therapy due to the bicep surgery. I got up at 6:00AM, got my shower, and then started playing nurse. She has a gizmo that pumps ice water over her shoulder, and it is full of frozen bottles of water, and some ice. So disconnect, that. Get up off the recliner, get her the the bathroom, undress her and help give her a sponge bath. She does not get a shower until Friday. Then dress her. I have lots of experience undressing women, but not much putting clothes on women. So we got that done, then the sling, then she pointed and grunted at the multiple flower pots that are not in the flower beds. All had to watered. Then get her breakfast, then get her back to the recliner and hook up the ice water gizmo.

I finally got to make my coffee at 8:00 AM. Oh yea, I fed the dogs in the there as well.

Of course she is in pain and has pain pills, be it is easy to hurt her while hooking up the sling, or getting her dressed.

The good news is in a few months, her right arm will be fixed. And she is keeping a log of when she takes the pain pills. Writing with her left hand it looks like a 3 year old wrote it.

Getting old ain't for sissies.
