Hell yeah!
How’s the healing going?

 

Hopefully the healing goes quickly.

 

I’m within the standard that my therapist wants. See the surgeon next Friday and can hopefully lose the sling and be cleared to drive again.

 

I need one of those

 

The both of you know how to have fun times!

 

Not something I ever thought would happen to me. I have played and worked hard my entire life of 61 years. The operation went well at least

 

The timing is never good, especially now!

 

Hope your recovery goes well. You'll be back to playing and working hard in no time!

 

Jesus
I thought it was your hands that were having the problem. Or was that just the symptom?

 

Those arm braces always make me nervous. More now than ever as I need to finally get around to scheduling an appointment to have my shoulder looked at. Why id surgery so darn scary????

anyway, hope your healing goes quickly!

 

Surgery was easy, building up the strength and stretching the muscle after sucks

 

True this..
I'll be off at the end of the year for 3 to 4 months getting my shoulder replaced.
I'll get disability, but it's a 5th of my regular paycheck.
I suppose that is what savings is for...

 

So how long in the sling?
I've got this coming up, then next year do the other side..

My daughter is a PT assistant.
She says I need to start stretching and strengthening my shoulders now to make the recovery starting in October easier..

 

Really? It's only 20%? Is it work related? Workman's comp is at least 40% IIRC.

 

I can't blame it on work, I wish I could.
I could live on my workman's comp pay.

My condition is from age and the luck of genetic heredity..
Every joint I have has cartilage loss and issues.
It isn't just one incident that caused my injury..
Both shoulders and both knees need to be replaced before I retire.
I need it done on company insurance, I'm thinking one joint a year for the next 4 years...

 

Did they end up doing nerve block prior to putting you out for the surgery??? My FIL just had a shoulder replacement and that's what he ended up having done?

 

Whether or not it'll be more fun will depend entirely on how good the meds are and how hot/slutty the nurses are. He might be getting his money's worth.

 

The nerve bundle from C6 C7 vertebrae go to the middle and ring finger and that area was severely impinged and was calcified. That is how it started

 

Not to mention the scar tissue that if you don’t tear through now it will come later when your not expecting it

 

Listen to your daughter. Last Monday was my 8th operation and each one I have worked the muscles like crazy before the operation. Much easier recovery.

You have a long road ahead, good luck brother you got this!!

 

I am not complaining, I had a visit from a very sexy Vampire in the middle of the night. She was quick, never felt the needle and then when I asked about her red outfit she OPENED UP!!!

 

Best part is last night I got the best sleep since December 19th! First time I slept all night with no pain

 

6-7 weeks in the sling, sleep sittin up in a recliner, but I have an adjustable bed, so I missed out on that. Therapist told me today I could go without sling at home, but to still wear it in public to support it if I get bumped in a crowd.

my job has no light duty, so I won’t be going g back to work until August/September

 

Yes I got a nerve block, it worked for.about 24 hours. Key is to.stay on top of.pain meds,.you can never.catch up to pain. I was off the oxy by day 6. Still have plenty left, but I don't play with opiates.

 

I know, I don’t like that either. Today is day 3 for me and I forgot my pain med for an hour and did not feel anything. Tempted to try and stop tomorrow morning

 

Liking only to acknowledge the added info. Damn. Good to know you’re on the mend though

 

I think they limit the amount of sponge baths you can get in one day.

 

Depends on how dirty you are. He can make it happen if he "mud" bogs first.
