Since I know we haven't talked about it much, I wanted to let people know that Amy had shoulder surgery this morning. It was an arthroscopic procedure to remove obstructions in her right rotator cuff, in this case a small bone spur and some built-up waste and scar tissue.
She had the surgery at 10am and was awake and ready to come home by 1pm. Of course, we didn't leave the hospital until almost 4. :) They kept her under observation for quite a while, and made sure she drank her full bag of saline. She's in great spirits (other than not being able to use her right, dominant hand) and is not suffering any pain so far. The nerve block is good for 8-24 hours, so we'll see how it goes from there. She'll be in a sling for about a week, so I'd expect her posting volume to be a lot lower for a bit. With luck, she'll be able to do some light biking once the sling comes off, and start running again in about 3 weeks. Swimming is still up in the air, but the guess is that it'll be at least 5-6 weeks.
She was in good spirits throughout the entire stay, and she brightened a lot of peoples' day. I sure do love that girl! =)
