As I've begun talking out loud about this I've already encountered several friends who have gone through some version of the same surgery. It is a collection of good advice that should stand me in good stead after the surgery. Thanks again, Andy Steve,

I can only say, its better they found it now before it was totally unrepairable. And thank goodness for MacSpeech! I have my new MacBook and am loving it - I'll be updating my blog and website soon. Take care/take it easy and no crazy cheering or clapping during football games or doing the YMCA during recovery. au revior, Elizabeth The Occasionista Andy,

I was one short of your trifecta 3 years ago. I had the surgery done on my right shoulder as well, and I too am right handed. The only bad part about the actual surgery was the nerve block that they give you in your neck. I couldn't feel half of my face or any sensation in my fingers either. What is weird is the little things that you take for granted. I couldn't tie my own shoes, button up my pants, drive my stick shift car, had to brush my teeth with my left hand, and let's just say that going to the bathroom was quite an experience. Then after the surgery, I went out and did a bridal show 2 days later. Of course I had to bring my brother with to haul all of the equipment. I was doped up on pain killers, so the only thing that I remember out of that show is booking 3 weddings out of it. The road to recovery is a long one because even after the surgery is done, get ready for Physical Therapy and getting yanked on every way possible. God bless and you will be in our prayers. Andy,
