On Wednesday I am having surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. I have been waiting for this surgery since January when I found out about the tear. The pain is tolerable most days but when I use the arm/shoulder too much, I pay for it painwise. Now that it is getting down to the wire and the surgery is day after tomorrow I am getting nervous.
This is my dominant shoulder/arm. I will be in a sling for 4-6 weeks. I don't really like having to depend upon others to take care of me so this is going to be tough. From what I have read the pain can be bad right after surgery. I have been using the mind over matter theory up until now as far as the pain goes.
I would just like some thoughts and prayers from everyone in the next month or so for a good result and speedy recovery.
Thanks!
