Shoulder surgeon saw Karen for 2 week appt today.... said it looked real good....also shared with her what he had done.
The shoulder was broken but what we did not know was her ligaments and
tendons were torn as well. This would explain the pain she has
experienced. So what this means ... a very long recovery... 4 weeks at
least in arm sling 24/7. Rehab will continue for 4 more weeks. She was
hoping to be shed of it today but....
Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Karen and Mark

Hello everyone,
Just met with the Doc and everything is still fine. He is pleased and said " you are almost finished". He meant with treatments (I think). So I wanted to post asap, as many of you are anxious to hear. STILL in remission!!!
Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers !!!!
SIDENOTES and VICIOUS RUMORS
- Not really surprised Alabama beat LSU on the repeat ... what was surprising and quite an embarrassing moment for the school must be the post game interview with one of the Alabama players. I still do not know his name or what subject he spoke upon,. However, one can assure you he was NOT speaking the Kings English. Really a shame...where is he gonna work?? Maybe the TSA pat down line at the airport?
- Once again the BCS is a farce. Alabama had 0 business playing for the national championship. As long as sports writers, coaches and committees continue to tell us who is # 1, then it will be a farce. Kind of reminds me of the government.
- continue to pray for our country...Obama care...we are finding what is really in it as we go. Nancy Pelosis's brilliant statement still rings in my ear, from the speaker of the house podium during the vote, "Just pass it and we will find out whats in it later." How right she was! This beat out Bill Clintons " it depends on what is, is."
Cheers,
Mark from Little Rock
KAREN UPDATE
"Busta"
Hi All,
Karen arrived home from her shoulder surgery around 9:30 pm. Had a fairly restfull night with ice packs and meds. She is doing fine today considering what has progressed. As most of you know, recovering form any surgery is a daily advance by steps. The rehab people in town will do some procedures this afternoon on the shoulder. Please remember her in your thoughts. She is a champ and very good patient.
I go to Little Rock Sunday to have 4 month tests with checkup. As always please pray this goes well.
