Taking my wife in for a shoulder 'tune up' this PM

She has a bone spur rubbing some tendons and while they are in they want to clean up some arthritic tissue that's been bothering her too. We'll find out what all else they see once they are in.

Last night we went to Wallmart to get way oversized flannel shirts and hoodies, so she can where them outside her sling and a pad to rest her arm on.

Should I tell the doc to use regular or synthetic? I'd hate to have to bring her back do to more wear!

This should be an adventure! More this PM.

    I hope everything go's well for her.
    I had my right shoulder done Oct fifth 1995 and Sept 17 2005. It will never be fully usable but each time it was better after surgery than it was before.

    Well she's home and in a recliner that she'll spend some serious time with for a few days. Thank goodness there are a lot of college playoffs going on.

    Reattached a bicep, cleaned up some angry tissue and got the bone spur. Ball and socket and rotator cuff were all both OK. Has an infuser pump of something-cane. I'll give her a pain pill near bedtime and turn up her infuser in the AM per the directions.

    While it's no fun, it is good to be alive in this century! I'm thinking the leaches wouldn't have helped!!

    Thanks for the kind thoughts and prayers.

    Well the good news is she should heal up in time to till the garden and run a shovel and garden hoe for the summer.[;)][:)]

    Godspeed on a fast comfortable recovery!
