Jim's upcoming surgery

I'd like to ask everyone to say a few prayers for my husband in the coming weeks. He's having shoulder surgery on Jan 6th. He has a torn ligament and they need to go in and repair it before his rotator cuff gets damaged. The surgeon says it's a quick in-and-out surgery but total recovery will take months.
He started having trouble with it several months ago and went to see our regular doctor. She gave him a shot and that helped some but didn't last long. Then one day at work it got worse so they sent him to their doctor. Long story short, after x-rays and an MRI it was decided he needed surgery. Luckily for us, this is a workers comp claim as it happened in the plant at work.
The doctor says he'll be out of work for 1 to 2 weeks but will have to do therapy and won't be 100% for 3 to 6 months. When they release him to go back to work, he won't be able to work out in the plant, which suits him fine.
I'd just like to ask everyone to pray that the surgery is a success and his recovery is quicker than expected.
I'll fill y'all in as much as I can after surgery and as he goes through the process of therapy and getting back to normal.

Thanks and God Bless!
