Glad things went well today buddy. Hang in there. Get some rest and you'll be back in no time!

It took about 2 hours. They drilled 9mm x 25mm hole at the top of my right arm. Then they cut the tendon lose from inside the shoulder, stuffed the end in that hole they drilled and put what's called a "sugar screw" in over the tendon .
Then they cut out a few sections of the rotator cuff and labrum (sp?).
This is the 4th time I've had this right shoulder worked on. The tendon issue is a first, I hope it makes a difference this time.
I'm still trying to get the other shoulder approved for surgery too. Along with both wrists and both elbows need nerve release procedures too.
