Not shoulder but lots of knees. Milk the liquid morphine and save your pills for after your out of the hospital.
Surgeries suck btw :frown:
-
i'm no expert but doctor's usually give you list of stuff not to eat and drink before surgery and alcohol is probably on that list.
brother had rotator cuff surgery in high school and dad just underwent it 2 weeks ago. you can probably expect 6-12 months or rehab. don't shoot the messenger.
-
I had it in 2008. My advice? Do every little thing your physical therapist says, and do extra if you can, even if it sucks. Your future shoulder will thank you.

I was told to stop eating and drinking at midnight the night before I had my hernia repaired. I blacked out around 12:30 and continued partying until sometime around 3:00 am. My surgery was at 9:00 am. My roommate drove me to the hospital and I lost consciousness right as the nurse began to prep me for the incision. I was not awake long enough the next day for my hangover to set in, which was rough ridin' awesome.
While I was in surgery, my dad went to my house to get some things for me, since I was going to be staying with them for a few days. He walked in to find my guest from the night before still sleeping in the bed. I still can't believe he never said anything to my mother.
I watched Flood Aggie beat Okie Lite that night in a drug addled haze and suffered through the CTR the next night without meds. What an awful game to watch after a surgery. I put myself through a lot of pain that night.
My friends and relatives in the medical field tell me that I'm incredibly dumb and something awful could of happened during the surgery (the drinking till 3 am thing), but I am alright. It's still a sore subject with my parents.
Also, good luck, friend. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I took a fastball to the boys when I was 13. Hopped all the way to 3rd base cussing while parents covered their kids' ears. I don't remember anything but getting hit. Next thing I remeber is laying in the grass away from the field with a bag of ice on my crotch. Didn't go back in.

I've had 2 surgeries on the same shoulder, in the span of 366 days. My best advice is prepare for post-op at home before surgery. Put a bunch of necessities close by, at an easily reached height. Bending over/ reaching up high, even with the other hand, can be painful. And yes, wait until absolutely necessary to take Meds. If you run out too early you're gonna hate life.
If you jav a significant other then it will be much easier of course. Positive vibes your way :cheers:

know several people who had to have it done twice, either from not following orders to a T or from having a bad doctor. Defenitely get referrals on doc from people who had good experience on this surgery.

Let's put it this way, it's impossible for me to water ski, not because I can't stand up, but because my lats and traps produce too much drag to pull behind a boat.
-
On a serious note, stay in front of the pain with your meds and you'll be golden. Put reminders in your phone and take them when you're supposed to regardless of pain at the time.
Also, you might have to end up sleeping with a few pillows under your back to support you and it's going to be weird and stuff, just a heads up. I know guys that have slept in recliners the first week or two because laying down in a bed can put some weird pressure on the joint.

Almost a month into recovery. Still have to use a sling most of the time for a couple more weeks. Still sleeping in a recliner most of the time due to waking up every couple of hours in bed due to weird pressure on joint. Crossing fingers that all of this bullshit will be worth it and I can get fully recovered. Wish I could start therapy now so I can regain use of my arm ASAP.. :impatient:

I had one on my right wrist when I was younger. Had it surgically removed before the beginning of my sophomore year and recovery wasn't that long. I played tennis on it for the rest of high school year round with only one small flare up that went away on its own. Haven't had any issues what so ever since.

I've had like cortisone shots and stuff but that just shrinks it for about 6 months then it comes back. Kind of lazy to get the surgery.

My best advice, try really hard not to get addicted to your pain meds

Also, hope your recovery goes well. Sounds like you had a hell of an operation.

When I was 7 my ear didn't work so they took out all my ear bones and made them not so shitty and put them back in my ear. True story.

Haha. I've seen her/talked to her a couple times with who I assume is her husband/your dad and the dog, and then one time it was just her and no dog and I was like "hey where's the dog?" and she says she had shoulder surgery and the dog pulls too much. Coupled that with the Lenexa locale and I found your post in the goEMAW dogs thread and boom CASE CLOSED!

You're the kind of guy who could easily find that information out. Up for a little neighborhood tracking? Sure you are.

Maybe? Pretty busy this summer. Also my neighborhood all looks the same and has a lot of hilly and winding roads so I get lost easily if I stray off my regular path (only been there about 9 months).

Maybe....just depends on how fast you heal and how quickly you regain flexibility in the joint. Your time frame is probably pushing it, but I think it is possible.

First day back to work (kind of) since getting new parts installed. Moving pretty well with no pain....just still kind of slow until my muscles remember what they hell they are supposed to do when walking.

"What's your pain level 0-10?"
Wife in for 2nd major surgery in last 6 months, and gets this question every time nurses check vitals.
Hooked up to IV, monitors, and wires monitoring things in the ppm, and the patient is left to assess their own pain level on 0-10 scale?
She doesn't get it. Whatever she says doesn't get her more pain meds. Is it a trick question?
What' would be examples on the scale?

Wow, that chart is incredibly helpful. It's crazy that medical professionals constantly ask the question but don't have or can't articulate that chart when the patient is all "dunno:
I always thought 0 = it's mumped up enough that I'm here seeking medical help but I can tolerate it no problem b/c I'm not a wuss. And the numbers 1-10 were like some level of increasing torture you'd go through as a POW.

My dad just had triple bypass surgery after a heart attack. They asked him his pain lvl after surgery. He said 10. He looked miserable. Could barely talk. Once they got the chest tubes out it went down to a 2 for him. They think the tube was pinching a nerve against his rib cage which was causing the intense pain.

We can rebuild him...

Damn. Sounds like he is okay now though?

Supposed to be discharged tomorrow. Been there since Thanksgiving. When they operated, the surgeon said his heart was barely beating. They didn't stop his heart and put him on the heart lung machine because of that.
Lot of life changes he's going to have to make. Such as acting like a 76 yr old and not working like he's 30. That will be hard for him

Modern medicine is amazing. I got me gall bladder removed this morning. I already feel a lot better from not having a gall bladder. I’m up walking around. I’m a little sore & it hurts to stand straight up. Other than that I’m fine. When I’m sitting I feel better now than I did yesterday.

Glad to hear it. Hope your recovery continues to go well.

I went to the ER Monday night because I had an attack that lasted 4 hours & I started vomiting. They gave me 1 hit in my IV when I got there & it helped some, but not a lot. 45 minutes later they gave me another hit & that felt good. My cousin drove me to CVS at 2:00am to get a Zofran prescription filled. I was leaning on the counter & the pharmacist asked if I was OK. I told her I got another IV pain med pushed & a oxy just before I left 15 minutes earlier. She laughed & told me I looked like I was feeling pretty good.
Today they gave me fentanyl right before they put me out. I guess when I woke up I was in pain & caused my blood pressure to spike. I don’t know what they gave me for that, but I woke up feeling good.

Wait, I confused propofol (Diprivan) with Dilaudid. Dilaudid is the pain med. The propofol was OK. I was actually disappointed. I usually feel it for 10-15 seconds before falling asleep & it feels great. Today they pushed it & asked if I was feeling it yet. I kind of felt it for a second, then was out. I’m bummed I missed feeling the effects.

The feeling that sweeps through your body as they inject fentanyl to induce anesthesia is really something. I have a tendency to be be more sappy than usual when emerging from anesthesia. The last time I had it, I was mumbling to Mrs SSOC about how much I appreciated her giving children to our family and how they are beautiful like her while the nurse encouraged me to remain calm and take deep breaths.

Being put to sleep is a great feeling. I loved the upper GI scope they did last year. I felt nothing from the scope, then I came home & slept 3 more hours. I woke up feeling the best I’d felt in years.
I always come out different. One time I came out very angry yelling “I’m in pain get me some rough ridin' Toradol now.”
My best friend died of cancer that they found while he was under. The doctor told his wife, then he woke up to his wife crying & she had to tell him. My wife told me when I woke up yesterday I just kept asking if they found cancer and if the doctor “Amanda’d her” like they did to my friend’s wife. My wife said I asked 20 times but I only remember once.
