Op Tomorrow…
GLAD TO BE ALIVE…
Even with this eye-watering pain every time I move. I managed in the split second at high running speed to try to roll into the fall. (old training) So my right shoulder took the impact, shattering it but not my skull. Without that learned training, no telling.
In 72 years, first broken bones and tomorrow first operation. I have been charmed. See you on the other side.

Wow … I am praying for a successful surgery and a smooth recovery.
I cannot believe this is the first time you’ve had a broken bone! You are a tough dude, Dean.
Will be cheering you on.

God bless you, Dean. I’m praying for a speedy recovery. You’ve done so much for me and so many thousands of writers. We love yoy, brother.
P.S. Enjoy the painkillers–they make ’em nice and strong nowadays!

Dean, you’re the first person (other than my wife!) who believed in my fiction writing, so many years ago. And I believe in your ability to come out of this strong and happy. Best wishes today with your surgery!

You went a long time without breaking bones. That’s a streak! Still sorry you had to deal with the pain. Your brain is the most important, so yay for the training kicking in. Hope the first surgery went well.
