Ken Cozier \u201956 \u2014 Just thought you would like to know Ken\u2019s shoulder operation went well. He had rotator cuff surgery on the right shoulder which had a small tear. We went into the hospital yesterday at 11:30 AM, operation was scheduled for 1:45 PM, but the operating room was in use longer than expected, and he finally went in close to 3:00 PM. The bone and joint doctor who had done my hand surgery one and half years ago did his shoulder.<\/p>\n
At 5:05 PM Ken woke up, and it was all over. We have pictures of the surgery which also show the sutures to heal the small tear. No drainage port was attached, but internal drainage was administered by the doctor with something to do such. Don\u2019t know the fancy name for this. We finally went home about 7 PM after Ken spent close to an hour in recovery. Now the time has come to re-coop! With pain medicine and a sling, he will take it easy for about 2 weeks until he sees the doctor again and has the outside stitches removed. Then we shall see what therapy is suggested. Wears a sling to go out in public as they advised.Thanks for all your concerns and prayers. (I am sure all of you who knew this was coming had him included in your prayers.)I went to the airport today and picked up Cindy, our
\ndaughter, who will be with us until Friday afternoon. She is a big help already. Fortunately, she\u2019s free since her job ended in April and she has been interviewing ever since.<\/p>\n
Our love and thanks to all of you for helping us get to thispoint! Jane and Ken and family!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
