Richard had surgery on his shoulder yesterday to fix an "impingement", a place where a bone spur had formed on his shoulder socket and was making it impossible for him to raise his right arm. The surgery went well, according to the surgeon, but they did a nerve block on his arm and it took until this morning before he could actually feel or move his right hand and arm. It is one thing to be told everything will be fine, it is another thing to wait to see if this big heavy thing that used to be your arm will actually come back to life. He is in pain today, but he says that he was in more pain with the impingement before the surgery.
