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.
