Obviously, because of the surgery I haven't been able to update y'all sooner. I'm doing well. The surgery was more intense then what they thought it was going to be. It ended being 2 hours and 30 minutes long! They put 2 new screws in my shoulder, and sewed my rotator cuff back together.
Physical therapy starts tomorrow, and they will tell us how much motion I've lost and how long it will take to get it back. Physical therapy in the past has been "slap-yo-mama" painful! Pray that God heals my arm and that we'll be back to carrying the cross soon!
People have asked me if it was because of carrying the cross that I had to get surgery? The short answer is "no", it doesn't necessarily help it, but these are deep tissue tears from wear and tear over the years that are being repaired, and once healed they will not stop me from walking with the cross. And walking with the cross won't cause me to need more surgery in the future.
Thank you for all your prayers and support,
He likes ya, and He loves ya!
