surgery today
 

So I had my surgery today. Left shoulder. Everything went well but it took a bit of work to get it back into shape by the Dr. Two tears, bone spur, some problem with the bicep tendon and few other issues. All is well now, at home recovering. Typing one handed too:lol: .

This is not too bad, till the pain block wears off. I have had the right side done three times and remember waking up in the middle of the night when it starts to get feeling back. I will make sure that does not happen again.

The pictures are pretty gross though!:D

:cheers:

Jeez, sounds intense, glad it turned out ok though. What caused the issues?

Oh, and post the pics :D

Great to hear the surgery went well !! Enjoy those meds and stay ahead of the pain curve !!!


And, oh yes.....

:ttiwop:


Even on drugs you had to see that coming !

Jim

Real men don't take meds.... they "suck it up"!!:rofl:

Who's minding your cell phone Eric? Don't get stoned and drop it!!

I will try and get the pics up soon. I don't have a scanner at home.

:rofl: :rofl: the meds are going to help for sure!

I had hurt the right side in Aug '08 and had that one worked on in Oct '08. I think the left side got trashed from overcompensating for the right too much. Just a guess though.

Funny man you! My phone is a safe distance from all "water hazzards" :D

Hope you have a speedy recovery.

What meds are you trippin on, Eric? :lol:

Glad to hear things went well. :cheers:

Heal up quickly brother---btw, I think Discovery Channel has old Overhaulin episodes on mid day---I was off work yesterday and caught two back to back episodes---one I had never seen--John Force School Bus ----I was shocked that John didn't get bleeped more than he did on the episode---somehow I watched the whole thing---it was entertaining---

The good news is your post whoring will be about half the norm.....:cheers:

Looks like your in for a decent recovery considering you can still type.
Good to hear things went well.

Like that's going to happen!

Reminds me of a joke.

You know why Helen Keller plays piano with one hand?

She sings with the other...

Lord only knows what Eric is doing while he's typing with one hand... Fishing for his phone maybe??:woot:

Thats pretty funny. Get better soon Eric :thumbsup:

I was trying to catch up to you and Greg, but it will be a bit longer now......:rofl:



Scott, meds? morphene, dilated, percocet.(sp?) My shoulder feels pretty good right now.:D


Thanks everyone for the well wishes!:thumbsup:

My left arm is in a sling and can't move. One handed typing and one handed phone fishing.:lol:

You lived! :thumbsup:

Enjoy the pain killers! :lol:

Glad to hear recovery is going well. How can it not with meds. Keep getting better..

Take care, get better soon..I have lots of block sanding if you need a rehab program:D

Hey bud, glad it went well!!
With those meds, not just your shoulder will be feeling really well. :unibrow: loll:cheers:
Take care and get some rest. When you get a chance check your email bud. :cheers:

Those lobotomies are tough... but you don't feel much pain... it's more of a drooling sensation.

I'm all stocked up on bibs buddy! But what does it mean if after that labotomy I still feel the same?:rofl:

It only means that you can post until Todd is a very very old man... and you still won't ever catch up to him.
:woot:

:rofl: :rofl:

Your closing up on me at warp speed.....if you weren't in your 70's I wouldn't stand a chance.:unibrow:

My 70's? You MUST mean Greg! I am 39. I have a lot longer than him to catch you Todd!:rofl:

Glad to see the surgery went well! (and you're not falling off on your posting rate) Good luck with the rehab.

LOL!!! I have to keep up with Greg and Todd, can't let a little surgery keep me down can I?:D


Happy new year John! I hope you are doing well.:cheers:

Now's a good time to think up some ideas for that 70

Get well Bro

I have to go in for the same surgery. tear and bone spurs in the left shoulder. I pushed mine out until the end of July. gives me time to enjoy most of the summer, and then i will be relaxing at home when it gets to be 100 degrees in my work everyday, like it does in late july and august. rehab will be shovelling once next winter hits

LOL!!! that's an oldie but a goody

Eric, it was good talking with ya today....get well brother!!! :cheers:

as for the post counding....I'm trying to catch Jody!! :lol:

:lol: All kinds of good ideas coming to mind today! The meds are going to screw up my whole build plan!!:D

Hi Eric, I'm glad to hear the surgery went well. Thank goodness for the forums or you would go crazy. The only problem is you'll have to go in for carpul tunnel surgery.:cheers: :lateral:

You don't need the meds for that!!! lol:wow: :_paranoid
lollllllll:cheers:

Thanks Randy. And yes, thank goodness for the forum. Something to read/do while recovering here.:thumbsup:

:rofl: Very good point buddy!:rofl:

I guess I missed this one. Glad to hear its over and your doing better:thumbsup: Surgery sux!!!!

Thanks Steve.
It does suck but in the long run it is for the better. These types of injuries don't heal very fast so it is really easy to keep doing more damage unless there is some kind of repair done. I really needed it done.:cheers:

I had surgery on my ankle for bone spurs on Dec 7th. Just went back to work this week. No where near normal but up and moving around

I am glad to hear it went so well for you.:thumbsup:

It was a struggle and I'm still suffering swelling and pain but who wants to sit around on the couch for another month? I was dying.

I hear you there! I am stuck here for a few more days then I should be able to get out a little. I hope.
There was a spur in my shoulder too and I had never seen one before. Pretty interesting to look at in the surg pics.
