My point is that if you have it done be VERY careful afterward. My right shoulder has been done 3 times (last was Oct of '08) I have torn the repairs out of that on as well. I see the surgeon tomorrow again to discuss my next trip to his table.:faint:

Eric:

I feel for you. I've had several on my right shoulder to. Last one was a several rotator cuff. OMG did it hurt and take forever to heal.

I wish you good luck healing.

Take Care,

Ty

Getting beat up sucks, and healing is just about as bad.

I've had a Shoulder Reconstruction, 2 shoulder replacements, a severed Rotator cuff (At least you know where my extra achilles tendon is):unibrow:
A reconstructed Knee, 2 layer back fusion, a discectomy, another fusion, and apendectomy, I go in tomorrow for a milagram on my lower back, bit through my tougue, split the bridge of my nose open, managed to almost lose a toes when a glass table broke. (Hunk of glass came down on it) Left check has be sewn up. I had a Brain Injury to my left Frontal Lobe. Spent 2 years learning how to drive and talk again. Still have a hard time remembering stuff.

Other than that it's been pretty easy.:rofl:

In all seriousness the Brain Injury was Terrible.

How do you guys that have been busted up work on you cars? I can do smaller things, but bending over, lifting stuff, or working hand tools esspecially at weird angles is a bitch.

Now you "see" why I really thought long and hard about posting up that one.... it's pretty gross.

I had a "colon resection" that went bad... the first time around they did the little pokey tools thing - but I was bleeding out internally - blood loss was so great I coded out... long story - but days later and lots of blood transfusions - they gutted me like a fish. LOL

Fine now - and you can't even see the scar. Of course this picture - self taken (my wife wouldn't do it) - is with a shaved belly and I had to bend backwards to get the camera angle which makes the picture really nasty.... but it was a bad "scar"...

Yeah, I can tell by looking at it how nasty of a surgery that must have been.
That's great that you can't even see the scar now. That was/is a huge slice.:wow: :willy:
Take care bud.:cheers:

It was a double edged sword -- two surgeries in one month - and the huge loss of blood... AND not being able to EAT ANYTHING for about 3 weeks... I was so weak I could hardly get out of a chair and then shuffled around like a 100 year old man for a month.

Red blood is a very important "issue"... I had 10 transfusions... or whatever you call 'em... Eating is also kind of important. I wasn't allowed to.
