Last year I severely injured my right shoulder. I went through months and months of doctors appointments and tests….on and on to figure out the my right rotator cuff was torn by about 70% and I was going to need surgery.
You would think that this would be easy peesy? Oh no!!!! Rotator cuff surgery is considered one of the worst surgeries to recover from. I about died when my surgeon told me that! Especially, as a nurse, because if one thing holds true for us is that if anything can go wrong, IT WILL!!!!!
Okay, my surgery went fine, but I did have to spend a month in a sling and sleep in a chair for several weeks because trying to lay down with your arm in a sling is not happening. Also, sleep doesn’t come easy because the pain is out of this world.
I spent a lot of time reading books, watching movies and binge watching TV shows that I had never watched before. One of those shows was Hawaii Five-O. Not the older one but the remake and I gotta say Steve and Danny are my favorites. Probably because of the verbal back and forth which leads me to my favorite TV line of all time.

Oddly enough, this line could probably sum up most of most of my adult life. Don’t show fear, show concern. 😊
