I've been off pain meds for several days now, which is nice to have happen so quickly. It took a very long time with my previous surgery, about two months. Tomorrow morning I have my first physical therapy session for my arm. It's with a different therapist than my achilles tendon therapy was. So now I can owe two therapists money at the same time!
I'm hoping I can get back to playing the mandolin again soon, but I doubt it'll be sooner than a couple of weeks. I have a return appointment with my doctor next Tuesday. Perhaps I'll get permission to start removing this darn brace. It's very hard for me to sleep with a brace and sling on.
Last week when I had my first follow-up with the doctor, he said I came out of anesthesia "like an angry bear." That was his official diagnosis.
Today is my lovely wife's birthday. Happy birthday, Lokien!

Today is my brother Jared's birthday. He is a year younger than me, but 5.5 kids ahead of me. Happy birthday, brother!
Today is my stepmother Charlyn's birthday. Just a couple days after mine, so it's not hard to remember. Happy birthday, I'm coming over for cake later! For some reason, I've been thinking this was on Friday, but when I looked at my calendar it said today.
In my head, it was like this, but in reality, I was just working like normal.
Today is my old friend Laura's birthday. She recently had a baby. Happy multiple birthdays, Laura!
Today my dad turns sixty. It's hard to believe, but inevitable I suppose. Happy birthday, dad!
Meta-Cat is not amused at your Internet humor…
Today is my sister Betsy's birthday! Happy birthday, sis!
Today is Tera's birthday. She's one of the few people I've managed to remain in contact with that I went to school with in Oregon (pre-Facebook, anyway). Happy birthday, Tera!
Today is my brother Wes's birthday, and my niece Lisette's too! Happy birthday!
Today is my oldest niece Jenifer's birthday. She's 13, and my younger brother's daughter. Having no kids myself, this makes me feel old.
