If you're scheduled for a biceps tenodesis, here’s what to expect during recovery:

• A sling is used initially for comfort and protection
• Early therapy focuses on gentle motion
• Heavy lifting is avoided until the tendon has healed
• Most patients regain their full shoulder motion before starting strengthening

Today is a day most remember Veterans for their sacrifice and commitment to our country. It is often a day that I remember the true heroes who made just as many sacrifices - my wife, Sarah; and children Elleanor, Ainsley, Emerson, and Abigail.

They did not volunteer, and did not have a choice, but accepted and supported my mission without reservation.

They - along with all of our nation’s families and loved ones who supported Veterans in their call to serve - are as much heroes as our nations Veterans - thank you Lynch Girls!
