So it is 5 weeks since I had shoulder surgery. Today I went to my 6th Physical Therapy session and later to the Doctor who did the surgery for a check-up. The Doc said I was on schedule and in two weeks can't undo his work so if I want to can try kayaking then. He laughed and said I would quickly realise I'm not ready to resume paddling and weight training. I did do 50 bicep curls with 3 lb weights. Whoopybloodydo. So hard work to get this beat up aging body back in shape is in my future.

Time to dust off those oars and paddles. La Conner in less than two weeks. I'll be there to help with the timing, etc, and with a pot of Terrie's world famous clam chowder. I urge you all to get it into gear and show up.
