They wanted him off all anti-inflammatory meds so they could see what they were
doing I guess!  I took him home a mere 8 hours after the surgery and he got to
sleep in his own bed last night. He's probably in less pain from the healing
incision than he was from the spur in his shoulder-joint. Miracle of modern
science, that arthroscopy!  We got to keep some photographs of his Extreme
Close-Up <g>  Incredibly weird.  I see by my incoming e-mail that he's already
awake and online.

That was I.  That's the sort of think you pick up in news biz, particularly in
the past couple decades with so much news from the Middle East where they don't
seem to care about standardized Roman Alphabet spelling.  At least the Chinese
made some effort... sigh.
