:lol:

Probably will have to concentrate on the Carpet Tunnel soon enough.

Why haven't I rec'd any percs in teh post?

HUH?!

You're gonna have to tear your own cuff there darlin'

Running a bit late with the congrats 3F, but all the same, fantastic to hear that your recovery is progressing well.

Thanks. I had a small stupid attack today while I had my sling off. I forgot I couldn't fold my arms across my chest.

Good to know all my nerve endings are still intact.

Yais.

I reckon you better get yeself some biscuits and mustard, mmmm.

Hubby had both shoulders MRI'd, then straight off to surgery to fix a tear in the right-side one. None of this asselin' around with Xrays and exercises.

His surgery was on March 21st. He is already using the arm a good bit, is almost through with his physical therapy.

He says the biggest bitch (well, besides me :D ) is not being able to lay flat for long periods of time. At night he often sits up in the bed to sleep.

Wow! what type of tear did he have? That's quick. Mine was on Feb 7 and my arm is just coming out of the sling and pretty much just dangles. PT is going to go on for at least another 6 months for me.

The doc said it was a clean tear of the muscle. He put stitches in it. Hubby had also pulled a tendon off of the bone (tendon for bicep) and the doc sewed that back to the bone.

I don't know if this doctor is overly confident in his sewing abilities, or what. Hubs has not had to wear the sling all day for a couple of weeks, now. He is not using the arm much (keeps it tucked close to his body) but he does button his Levi's and do small things like that.

He can also cross his arms over his chest. So he must have had something different from what you did, foot. I reckon each case is different.

Yeah, there are a bunch of different ways to mess up that joint. I know a lot of folks who detached their biceps, they say it hurts.

I had a 4cm wide full thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon. And a few other complicating things. It was a full open repair, too much for arthroscopic.

I bet this is why the long recovery. You seem to be coming along well. :)

How do we know feet's not making all this up?

Munchausen by internet! BUSTED.

because he posted pics.
