Thanks for asking Harry.
I had the surgery last Monday. The rotator cuff was only a partial tear and didn't require anything. They did find a torn bisecp tendon which was repaired, a torn labrum, and removed bone spurs. They also removed the end of the collar bone where it attaches to the shoulder A/C joint. Why they did this I don't know but that's what is the most painful. I was off pain meds on Friday but on Sunday I made the mistake of pulling a 13 pound Order Book off the shelf with my left hand and arm. This transmitted forces over to the right shoulder and wasn't a good thing to do. They said no lifting but I figured they meant with the right arm. Guess I was wrong! Back on the pain meds for a while. It's getting better. I see the Doc on Monday.
Thanks to everyone for not sending in too many research requests I'm only backed up 2 letters right now. I'm getting them out 1 or 2 a day.
