I go back to work in the morning (sedentary) |
|
It will probably be early January when I go in for shoulder surgery. 6 weeks with the shoulder immobilized on pain meds. 3-4 months follow up therapy. I have to clear a post therapy evaluation to prove I can still do my job, just like last time. Stay tuned.

4. Take care of yourself - I just broke my 1st metatarsal bone yesterday |
|
and it's hurting like a bitch. I see the orthopedic doctor tomorrow and determine what treatment will work.
It's on a posterior splint and I'm not too happy with it - it moves too much. I'd rather get it completely immobilized.

Do what they tell you... and the best, those ARE painful.

9. It wasn't that long ago (your other surgery)? I remember that. Good |
|
Luck with the next op and let's hope they 'fix it this time.

My brother in law was just recently immobilized with an ankle surgery for 9 weeks.
Good luck; and here's to a speedy and healthy recovery process!

13. I'm sure it will go fine. Stick with the program as closely as you |
|
can, and it will go as quickly as possible.

a tens unit, take it. It works better than any pain pill and less addictive.
I was off the pills within 3 days.
Good luck.
