The mission assignment has been made and unless something out of the ordinary happens, the call letter will arrive on Wednesday. Â We should have even more to be thankful for on Thanksgiving this year.

Everyone told me that after shoulder surgery, physical therapy really sucks. Â They were neither kidding nor exaggerating. It’s really bad. The glenoid labrum, the part of my shoulder that they repaired, is usually pretty flexible and moves a bit when the shoulder moves.

Today, in the first session of the LDS Church’s Semiannual General Conference, President Thomas S. Monson announced that young men can be recommended for Missionary Service at the age of 18. I don’t remember much else from the Saturday Morning session, because everything in my older son’s life suddenly changed. He was going to be
Slowly. Â VERY slowly, I am recovering. Did I mention slowly? Â Good. Maybe I’ll learn some patience from all of this. I went to my first post-surgical follow-up visit last week. Â Things are progressing just about as well as the surgeon expected they would. Â Slowly. He told me that the three priorities after a SLAP-tear repair
Everything apparently went well with my shoulder surgery. I was given a late-ish time to report to the surgical center–1:45pm, and just a we were about to leave home to go to the surgical center, they called and told me that they were running behind. Â I finally showed up at 2:45 and got all checked
