Broken Wing
Photo by "nurse" Elizabeth
I fell on the last night of our wedding trip to St. John, USVI. I dislocated my left shoulder causing severe damage to the rotator cuff and detached my bicep muscle at the joint. This happened the night of July 21, 2007.
I had surgery to repair my shoulder on Wednesday, August 18. Dr. Michael Fajgenbaum of the Raleigh Bone & Joint Surgery Clinic performed the procedure at Raleigh Duke Hospital. This was the best hospital experience I have ever had.
I will have my arm immobilized for the next 6 weeks. After that, I'll start physical therapy.

2 Comments We’re Married!
Elizabeth and I just returned from 8 days on the island of St. John in the US Virgin Islands. We were married on July 18th at sunset. Anne Marie Porter was our officiant, and Michelle of Blue Glass Photography expertly captured the moments. Anne Marie provided a wonderful ceremony. Thank you, Anne Marie, for making us both feel so relaxed and for making sure we took the time to soak up the island vibes while we said our vows. Michelle was a pleasure to work with as well. We hit it off immediately, making this photographer comfortable on the other side of the lens for a change!
While we were on St. John, we stayed at an incredible villa called "The Castle" on top of a mountain on the east, and less settled, end of the island. The view was magnificent.
