Update

After some ups and downs in the recovery process, we're recording the final chapter on Judy's shoulder. Shoulder surgery technology seems to be advancing rapidly. Eight weeks after her surgery to reattach a partial tear, a complete tear, remove the inflamed bursa sacks, and reshape the bone over the rotator cuff, she has regained 100% of her range of motion. Last Saturday (a week ago) she and I hit the racquetball around and no damage was suffered. She has been released by the physical therapist. She needs to check in with the orthopedic surgeon one more time in three weeks. He says he'll release her then to unrestricted racquetball. There is no more pain. We're calling it a victory.
