I had my initial PT evaluation a few days ago. The therapist referred to my shoulder as "supple," which he said is very good. Yesterday I had my first post-op surgeon visit. He was very happy with my early progress, as well as with the outcome of the surgery. One caveat: There was significantly more damage than we realized, which required additional work on his part...which translates into I get to spend a possible 8 weeks in a sling (I was anticipating 4 at the most).

Now, I'm not going to start complaining. At the end of it all my shoulder will be in great shape (the Kansas City Chiefs have called asking if I can be a fill-in QB), and I know of friends with far more significant health concerns.

Off we go on the healing road!
