A Christmas present to my self:.....SURGERY

coach · 12-17-2008, 02:08 PM

took a fall the Sat b4 Thanksgiving in the parking lot at work, Emergency Room said "Sprained Shoulder", I knew better. Got an appt with my Ortho a week ago today, MRI was last Friday. Follow up today.......TORN ROTATOR CUFF( I blew the tendons in 2 of the 4 muscles that hold the shoulder together). Worker's Comp case so I'm on a 10 day waiting period for them to APPROVE my surgery. Outlook is 3-4 months of being out of work.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE/HAPPY HANUKKAH TOO MY JBOTL

Get well soon, Randy.

Here's to a successful surgery and a quick recovery!

Think of all the time you can spend on here now!

Volt · 12-17-2008, 02:25 PM

On the serious side - was it your cigar smoking arm? If not, all is good, if so.... better learn to smoke with the other hans. I hope you get well soon.

Too bad your income is not that of those that most commonly suffer this type of problem: pro baseball pitchers! Wishing you nothing but the best and a full recovery- and perhaps a salary approaching that of a pro baseball pitcher!

markem · 12-17-2008, 02:49 PM

Best of luck with the surgery, Randy. Hoping for a full and complete recovery!

csbrewfisher · 12-17-2008, 02:55 PM

God bless your surgery coach. Do what the doc says and rehab hard. Here's to a speedy recover, and a shoulder stronger than ever!

All I can think is "OUCH"!!!

I hope it's all behind you very soon Bro...

CBI_2 · 12-17-2008, 06:28 PM

Prayers for your pending surgery and recovery. Hang in there brother.

jitzy · 12-17-2008, 06:37 PM

good luck on the surgery, I'm actually sitting home recovering from that surgery right now, (torn laberum and rotator cuff) I had the surgery the week before halloween. All I could say is try the physical thearapy first and see if helps or just at least stalls the surgery till the nicer weather cause right now I wish I didn't have the surgery cause I'm in more pain now then before. Oh and the biggest piece of advice I could give you is BUY A RECLINER BEFORE my recovery would probably be going better if I had one I have yet to sleep thru the night since the surgery. If you have any other questions shoot me a pm I'd be more than happy to talk to you about it.

forgop · 12-17-2008, 07:16 PM

Sorry to hear the news coach. That sucks. I wouldn't say that you'd really be missing work though.

coach · 12-23-2008, 04:17 PM

Surgery is scheduled for Thirs Jan 8, 2009

68TriShield · 12-23-2008, 04:22 PM

Its on my calender Coach.Good luck to you Sir!

MadAl · 12-23-2008, 04:25 PM

Have been having similar shoulder issues. So far the cortisone has held, though this snowstorm has made me wonder...

Good luck Coach!

Blueface · 12-23-2008, 04:36 PM

I feel for you.

I had one back 3 yrs ago that they wanted to operate but believe it or not, it healed. Lots of therapy on it but good to go.
I now have the other one torn.

This one seems to be a bit worse.

Good luck.
