Shoulder surgery

Hi everyone just wanted to share I ended up having to have shoulder surgery yesterday.  I was in the OR for 2 hours and was told I had bone spurs, scar tissue and bursitis.  I also got on the scale last night and gained 4 pounds and instead of cussing and getting hysterical I know it came from the IV liquids. I am so glad I went in knowing that the IV would have me gain weight and it would come right back off. Unfortunately I am ouchy today and trying to move that shoulder but not able to yet.  I start physical therapy monday,  Should be interesting.

I am so glad that everything went well for you. Now physical therapy will keep you moving. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Hey Linda.. glad you are home and recovering.  Don't force yourself to do anything to strenuous.   Good for you for remembering that the IV would cause weight gain.  I am going to remember that when I come home on Tuesday and not even bother getting on the scale.

Hey LInda,
Take it slow, get good rest and remember to keep the fluids and nourishment coming. You'll be back on your palomino before you know it.

Ahhh Dennis you're a sweetie.  Thank you all for your good wishes.

I am sorry you had to have surgery but I hope it eases your pain. Take care of yourself

I'm sorry to hear that!  Do you mind telling me who your shoulder surgeon was?  I have rotator cuff issues on both sides, and don't know who to use...
Thanks,
Amy
 

So tell me how bad the surgery hurts. I`ve had 3 dislocations and 1 seperation of my left. One car wreck 72, one motorcycle wreck 75  and then an ice fall in January. The right was only twice,  one time from a Rugby injury 82 and one amusement park accident late 80`s.. Both show nice sized tears but the left has 3 tears on the MRI. Right now I`m doing PT but the range of motion from past injuries was real limited and the pain never seems to end.

Hope all goes well.

Keep posting on your progress.

Get well soon Linda. Cassidy awaits your riding him again soon I am sure.

Ya know...I thought about that the other day - and by the time I got on the computer my poor little mind totally forgot what I had come on looking for.  Sheesh.

Thanks for the update - hope you start to feel better soon.
