We're Back in Steamboat!

Posted: Jun18,2019 | Modified: November 29, 2021 | by Karen

Dean recovers from shoulder surgery

Just a Little Repair Work Needed

The Massey's have parked their boat, Snowcat, in Baltimore and are back in Steamboat. Dean is recovering from surgery on a torn rotator cuff and is impatiently waiting to get back to an active life. We expect the recovery to take 5 months, so we'll be suspending our sailing adventures for now.

    Welcome back Karen. Sorry you have to park a while but maybe that will give us time for tea? You can find me at the library. Stop by and let’s make a date. Nina (Darlington)

    Hello Masseys~~Sorry about your rotator cuff Dean. I've had both of mine done and it takes time. Do your PT regularly and you'll be surprised at your good recovery. Best of luck with that!! Hugs, Eileen Grover

      Thanks Millie - it's great to be back in The Boat! Dean's feeling better every day, but rotator cuff repair & healing takes time. I hope that all is well with your family.
