Oh the pain!!

[Sgt Fury]

I had surgery yesterday on my right shoulder. The doctor told my wife after the surgery that everything went well and that the bicep was 85% torn from the bone. Been like that since June 3rd...these workmens Comp doctors really drag their feet. Haven’t had a decent nights sleep since it happened. Now I’m on pain meds and a ice water circulation contraption. 3-5 weeks in a sling then I’m guessing physical therapy. Doc said around 5-6 months recovery....there goes my turkey season....and what was left of my NJ deer season. Hopefully I’ll get some crabbing/clamming in this summer...along with my garage/man cave project. *Side note:you ain’t lived until you wipe your ass with your non dominant hand!....come on...I know there’s someone out there who’s gonna try!

Sorry to hear Sgt.

Get well soon buddy!

BTW, I've been there and worse.

Hang in there, you'll get through it.

Yup, I’ve had three knee surgeries (played ice hockey for decades), ulnar nerve surgery (left elbow) and surgery to remove a kidney stone. The kidney stone wins hands down as far as pain...these other surgeries just take time to heal.

You’ll be good to go shortly!

Get well enough and join us at one of the 'TOO' events and I'll share my horror story with ya.

Let's just say for now, I'm a very lucky man to have someone in my life that cared enough to take care of me.

I'm most greatful to her and the almighty that kept me alive let alone, to able to get to do what I can do today without pain.

Good luck to ya and hang tough!

You got this!!

I torn my front rotar cuff completely off this june, I know your pain. Things are getting back to normal but it will take your time, don’t rush it.

The PT person ask what my goal was and I said to be able to wipe my butt with the hand I used to use. You ain’t joking it is strange to switch wiping hands.

 

[MoonLab]

Hope it heals up quick enough.

Yep not having your dominant hand for wiping is a chore, but you’ll be fine and back too (what you call) normal before you know it

 

[Mike]

Heal fast!

 

[Big_Holla]

Hope you heal fast and get back at it soon!

 

[Redhunter1012]

Hope you heal fast. Probably best to invest in lots of baby wipes for the time being

I feel your pain! Been there done that. Try sleeping in a recliner, helps with the pain. Do the therapy and you will be good to go for hunting season. Good luck.

 

[OhioWhiteTails]

Stick with the ice and rest. Take PT serious and you'll be back sooner than you think.

 

[Dustinb80]

Hopefully you heal quickly. Good luck

 

[mike hunt]

Couldn't resist, hope you feel better

hope you have a speedy recovery! Broke my collar bone about 10 years ago, I can confirm the awkwardness for wiping with non dominant hand..

Yup, simple things like stirring coffee or typing left handed on my iPad are proving challenging...not the end of the world but makes you appreciate when all is working well.

Suck it up buttercup! Get well soon. [emoji23]

You got this .

When using your weak hand, turn it over so the thumb is closest to your waist and your palm is down.
It’s supposed to feel like someone else is jerking you.

(Hope that helps get ya through the recovery period)

 

[Outdoorsfellar]

Good luck ! I can't get that dominant hand action out of my head now ....lol
