As a number of our patients know, I had rotator cuff surgery Thursday morning by Dr Eric Branch from TOC Now and the team at Panama City Surgery Center. Everything is going well. My arm is still partially numb from the anesthetic block but I haven't had any issues with the general anesthesia. I knew early on that God directed me Dr Branch and TOC Now, but gave me even more assurance when I had some excellent and very spiritual conversations with Carman and Janna. It was obvious that they not only love what they do but they love the Lord while doing it.
Even though I'll be out of work for a few weeks to heal, our office is still open for scheduled cleanings. Two of the hygiene team, Samantha and Brandi, will be there for patient treatment, and my assistant, Shelly, will be there for any emergencies or aligner deliveries. The front desk team, Amanda and Dale, will be there as well to answer the phones and take care of the day to day stuff that they handle better than I ever could. I'm so blessed to work with them, or for them, I guess is the better phrase, so please rest assured, we'll still be here to take care of your dental needs as best we can.
My wife is being the best nurse possible. She's keeping me on my meds and making sure that I'm comfortable and not over-doing it. I'm extremely grateful for God bringing her into my life. Shes my best friend and my partner in Christ, and I couldn't ask for anyone better to live my life with.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate you all for being a part of our dental family and I look forward to many more years of doing what I love, where I love doing it and who I get to work on everyday. Everyone take care and have a blessed day!
