Thank you @smiler2012. And no, im right handed, surgery on the left. But will be one handed for a bit.

A retired RN here. I specialized in orth( pedics) and general surgery. It is uncomplicated. You will learn to make do with your other shoulder. It gets easier with practise. Dressing and wiping your perdonal areas as well as washing is a chore. Rest between activities. Ask friends for help with shopping, etc. Don't overdo it. Rest helps healing. You will do fine.

All I know to say, is that I really, really hope the surgery will go as smoothly (and painlessly) as it possible can. It WILL...positive vibes and good thoughts and [b]all[/b] that jazz. Not much comfort when facing a scary surgery, I wouldn't think, but then I never read Norman Vincent Peale's book.

Have you found out what time it will be yet?

Carla · 61-69, F

@Piper positive energy can't hurt. Thank you pipes.
Surgery at 7:15am. That means up at 3:30am. Have to be there at 5:30.

Piper · 61-69, F

@Carla I figured you'd have to be there brutally early. 🫤💜

Cute, @MarkPaul.

And in a blink, you'll be as good as new again! Better, actually :)

Carla · 61-69, F

@RenFur thank you for that! Optimism/pessimism. Niether are in my wheelhouse.
I hear tell my comfort level after some healing, will be markedly increased. A better summer is in my sights🙂

RenFur · 70-79, M

@Carla

You're welcome. I still drink Mex Coke - - but not at your level 😁

Carla · 61-69, F

@RenFur there you are.
A better day.
Again....thank you.

I bet that will involve quite a bit of physical therapy rehab. Good luck.

Carla · 61-69, F

@Subsumedpat time and movement. My doc says not so much physical therapy.
I guess they give me a couple of rubber bands after three weeks and it's a go.
It's because those tissues that would need the therapy are gone. Other muscles, uninjured and intact, take over.

Good luck with the surgery. Shoulder injuries seem to take a long time to heal. I hope this works well for you.
