Yes, I have made it through another year! Brad, a big thank you for the gift! It is great and I am looking forward to using it real soon. I go to the surgeon on Monday for my check up after the surgery on my shoulder and have my fingers crossed for some good news. My therapist seems to feel that I am going to get a great report. She feels I will be getting rid of the sling and she has me scheduled for "reaching and strengthening" therapy starting next week. She feels 3 days per week for 3 or maybe 4 weeks and I will be on my own. I sure hope she is right because I need to go fly fishing real bad! It has been a long 6 weeks,but, I can do another 3 or 4 weeks since the therapist feels the surgeon will permit me to do some fly tying as long as I position my vise low so I won't be holding my arm up for long periods of time.

Thank you all for the Birthday wishes. They are much appreciated!
