Shoulder surgery happened 2 weeks ago yesterday. My rotator cuff was repaired, and had actually gotten worse, unsurprising after the way I pushed myself in PT to get range of motion back so I could get surgery. My clavicle is now 8mm shorter, and my biceps tendon is relocated to my upper arm. He also debrided all of the arthrosis up there. Stitches came out yesterday, now it's just the long road back to full function ahead.
Surgery was done Wednesday. All three procedures were completed, biceps Tendonesis, distal clavicle excision and rotator cuff repair. Bonus procedure arthritic debridement. Pain level is reasonable with current meds. I start physical therapy next Wednesday, a week post op.Thank goodness bandages can come off tomorrow, they're itchy as fuck.

6 days til shoulder fix day. It can't get here soon enough to suit me. I'm tired all the time from not sleeping right and the constant pain, my mood sucks because I'm tired all the time and can't do simple things like lift a coffee mug without pain.

I get that my recovery is going to be long and it's going to hurt more post surgery for a time, but at least there's a light at the end of that tunnel that isn't the train that my shoulder currently feels like it's been hit by.

Shoulder Surgery in nine days. Preparation includes creating a new Femshep on PS5. Not sure I can play without PC mods lol #MassEffect1
StarLabs should have really invested in paperweights by now. #theflash
Me: orders hard drive for ps5
Box: arrives
Me: dang that's kinda heavy for just an SSD stick

"Is... Is it okay to be weird?"
The witch studied the young woman.
"No."
"No? I thought you'd understand."
"Don't be weird," the witch said. "Be yourself."
"But..."
"Now, some people may call that weird, but that's their word, not yours. Be yourself, however that is."

Finally!!!
I made my first batch of pierogies yesterday! The first six I used a family noodle recipe, it didn't work well. The next batch was a recipe I found online, plus using pam spray on the mold/press. Today they'll get cooked with kielbasa and sauerkraut. #food #homecooking

By any chance have any of you used a wedge pillow to recline on? I'm looking for recommendations for one after my shoulder surgery #shoulder #surgery #surgeryrecovery
