Hello all...just checking in here. Was totally bored out of my skull, so started up the computer after a week. Won't be on here long...just enough to file a quick update
It has been exactly a week since the surgery. Lots more done than was expected besides the torn rotator cuff.... I am still in pain but have the pain meds to help out. I bruise easily..so even the DR. was surprised to see how black and blue my upper right arm is. Had the sutures out MOnday, and staying out of the sling as much as possible. Wants me to move around as much as possible. Hard not to favor the right side:-( So that effects the rest of the neck and back etc...
The worst has been trying to find a way to sleep, 4 days of upright in a recliner are done with...I finally just went back to bed and flat on my back with pillows propping against me. .....all the contortions have put my back side in some real pain which is bothering me more than the shoulder.
Take care all. We'll see how things are in another week.
