He's probably in recovery by now, all hopped up on painkillers. I can hear Brianna now:

"I sense a disturbance in the force..."

and here I am now!

It's spooky how that works.

exactly how he typed before.

A better question is "how will we be able to tell the difference?"

I feel like someone whacked the back of my skull with a hammer.

I wonder how zippeh is doing.

(Yells so he can hear) ZIP! HOW ARE U DOING?!?!?!

YEAH ZIP...HOW GOES IT?

LET US KNOW!

You should lock your door when you sleep. At least until your son moves out.

Just sayin.

I found that typing was not as difficult as using the mouse.

That's 'cause you people use stupid mice.

Trackball trackball trackball.

Maybe he could use Dragon Naturally Speaking.

howdy all , hydrocodened up zip here
Thanks for the good thoughts and vibes
surgery went well,
doc told Carol there was no tearing just bone spurs and bursitis
so hopefully that meens a quicker recovery ,

as to my typeing , well its a bit slower than usual , and Infini is right Track Ball all the way .

again thanks for the good thoughts/vibes they helped

zippy - despite what you may have heard do NOT crush your vics up and snort them.

It'll burn the hell outta your nose.


glad you're doing well, zip! :) Here's a flower :flower: to get well on.

Is Carol wearing a sexy nurse uniform?

Glad it's all good so far...

Carol is a Sexy nurse uniform or Not ( preferably )

Jeez, Zippy hits the jackpot!

Disc is burned and shipping in the am. 162 hours worth!

Good to hear, Zip.

Ok so Doc said i only had about 3mm tear , and he would have had to mess it up worse to fix it than it was, so he left it alone
But he removed bone spurs and the tip of my clavicle or collar bone,
so i have raw bone on bone or sum such ,
all i know is that its Sore and Stiff ,
Fuck the Hard Pain meds , they Mess me up for a few days per pill ,
so on Docs orders im ditching the useless ass sling ,
signed up for PT this afternoon , and im going to hurt for a while
WAAAAAAAA !!!

It's easy to take a pill every day, and to stay with PT is hard. But it works.
So stay with it and make it part of your everyday routine. It works.
Find a way to reward yourself when you don't miss a day. It works.

Grind it out zip!

3 millimeters?
You pussy. Give me back my advice. I had a 3.5 centimeter tear!

Seriously, that is seriously ass good news zippy. Those tendons don't have much blood supply so they heal really slowly. The grind-out is awesome because it keeps the bone from digging into the tendon when you raise your arm.

You should be feeling better very soon. PT is great especially if you have a dishy PT gal.

The pain meds suck. I stopped them after a few days. IT will take a few weeks for your head to clear from the surgery aenaesthaesiae too.

i had a REAL BAD nite last nite,
could Not find any angle that my shoulder was not hurting ,
out of bed , back in the recliner with ice packs and a pain pill ,
Still didn't sleep worth a shit

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I'm sorry zippyt. :(

Sorry to hear that. It happens. That's what that CD is for.

Maybe you could hang from the ceiling like a bat.

the fricken weather ,
its been raining for the last few days ,
hell i could have told you it was comeing

I can tell when it's coming by the hard breathing.

Har Har

yeah, well, if it's hurting your shoulder like there's no tomorrow, you're doing it wrong.

or right, depending on how you see things.

SOUND IS NSFW
 

Hell, yeah!

I been puttn my Back , Ass and Shoulder in to it !!!
But it aint done Much good , Soooooo ,,,,,,
I have a Manipulation(they put me to sleep and MAKE this Fucker Move ( with the associated Cracking and popping noises )) tentatively scheduled for Tuesday ,
Yeee FUCKING HAAAW !!!

It would be cool if you could give Carol or somebody a video camera to record the process and accompanying sounds. I bet they won't allow it though.

Hopefully when the drugs wear off afterwards, it won't be too sore. :eek:

I'd be happy to be put under for that procedure. I bet the noises are horrid. Of course, when the doc set my compound fracture in my wrist, I don't remember the noise, or anything...since I was in la la morphine land.

Good luck, dude.

sholder not hurting , hell nuthen is hurting (thanks perks!!!)
Doc had me put to sleep (4trys for the IV !!!!!)
Big nerve block , hell my Ear is even numb
and rotated this sholder
cold apple juice after anatheisa is SOOOOOOOO GOOD !!! (prolly the druges)

chicken and stars with salteens glass of tea recliner neck pillow snuggie , Ahhhh life is guuuud !!!

Glad you made it through the other side

Modern medicine! Better than biting the wooden spoon.

In my day we didn't have fancy shoulders our arms came right out of our ears and we liked them that way.

Is this the wrong place to suggest this'd make a good Cellar tag line?

Four tries for the IV? :facepalm:

I guess that's why it's called an IV.

I can beat that. For my last Remicaid infusion, they successfully started the IV four times. And each time, my vein blew out. I've been on steroids for over a year now and steroids weaken your veins.

When you start comparing injuries and illnesses you know you're getting old.

Clever.!

well today in PT they rotated my sholder ALL the way ,
Good news !!!
Hurted like a BYOTCH , and there is a Sorta Burr/ catch , but it moved .
i came home and had a Pain pill , i just woke

Full movement!

Mr. Clod's shoulder has been hurting for about 6 months. It finally got bad enough to see an orthopedist. They say he has "only a small spur," and a 30-day course of anti-inflammatories should fix it.

He's on day 5, and still no change in pain whatsoever. Right now, I'm putting my money on surgery, oh, say about a year from now.

And the process drags on. Multiple anti-inflammatories had no effect, nor did shots of cortisol, and finally Mr. Clod managed to get back to the doctor and get an MRI. Diagnosis: "moderate sized longitudinal partial tear of the superior subscapularis tendon." Whee!

He's been referred to a surgeon. Maybe they'll say he should just put it in a sling for a few months, but I kind of doubt it.

So I sit down to read the cellar with a microwave heat pad on my shoulder and guess which thread is active...

Is this the same shoulder you already had surgery on? Are you saying he shouldn't do it because it's not going to stop the pain anyway?

I think Footy had the surgery. Mines been okay with exercise and anti-inflammatories. This new pot regimen looks interesting...

Yeah, foot and zippyt and I thought one other person... Glad yours is staying under control, though. I'm actually pretty leery of shoulder surgery for him now, thanks to the horror stories on here.

There is nothing horrible after you get better. I was never in pain after the surgery as long as I behaved. It has been 2 years nearly and it is awesome. I really want to get the other one done but not with things the way they are at home.

I can do things with my arm now and I'm not in pain with that arm. I often find myself holding back when lifting or some such motion and then I realize it doesn't hurt and I go a bit farther and no pain and I realize I am actually stronger in that arm than I used to be.

I totally recommend it. The anal probe, not so much.

Surgeon says it's not severe enough to do surgery on right now. So he can cripple his arm in a sling indefinitely, and see if it heals on its own, or he can just keep living in pain and wait until it gets bad enough to do surgery. He's pretty pissed at that non-answer.

You may need a different PCP or Surgeon.

Moderate is meaningless, how many cm? Even that isn't fool proof, Mine was only supposed to be something like 2cm partial tear from the MRI, when the doc got in there via arthro, he saw that it was essentially fully torn with only a tiny shred of tissue connected and a lot of scar tissue. What he thought would be 45 minutes was almost three hours.

Mr. C should go to his doc and say, "Listen. I'm in pain and every time I need to do X it hurts. And when I do Y, it hurts. And if I do Z, it hurts." Never say, "I can't do such and such." Say that you can, but emphasize that it fucking hurts.

Problem with RC injuries is the longer you wait to deal with them the chances of full recovery diminish.

Shoulders are a crazy ass solution to an engineering problem and there's not much to do to improve their architecture. PT 3x a week and at home might help strengthen and stabilize the shoulder but those tendons don't re-attach themselves.

Shoulders. Ask for them by name.

^whs^

Yeppers

I HATE passive doctors! If I wanted to 'wait and see' I wouldn't need a doctor to tell me to do it!

I go to Cincinnati for aggressive docs. All the docs up here want to 'wait and see' until your cancer is growing out of your fookin' ears or if your arm does, indeed, grow back.

sheesh.

UR doin it rong.
