Just wanted to let you guys know, I made it home from the hospital this afternoon. Surgery went well, shoulder is a little sore as well as my throat from the tube and sleepy but should be able to do some smoking in a few days. Thanks for the Pm's and the well wishes, it was really nice of you.
Heading for the recliner to take a little rest.

......should be able to do some smoking in a few days.

Good idea to wait a day or two, Pens..... then I'd start with a mild Royal Jamaican before jumping headlong into an Arturo Fuente!! ;) ;) Prayer sent for speedy healing!
Pens,
Glad to hear all went well. I'm thinking 12 ounce arm curls may be in order to begin rehab of the shoulder.
Rest easy my friend,
KyNola
One word.
Oxycontin.
;D ;D
thanks everyone, feeling a little better but sore today, need to run to town and get the script filled the doc gave. should have had it filled yesterday, but I was not as sore then and did not think it would be needed. a little tough sleeping in thr ez chair overnight, kinda hard typing only using left hand but it give me something to do.
thanks again,
pens
Isn't typing fun....
We won't expect capitalization and punctuation for a while.... ;D ;D ;D
We hope you recovery quickly.

heck I wasn't good at that to begin with, :)
thanks
Glad to hear that all went well pensrock wish you a speedy recovery. But why have ice when you can have ice cream.
HR
I like the way you think HR, but I would have to go to the store to get icecream. :(
I did make it to the pharmacy this morning for some pain meds, should have got them yesterday on the way home. Oh well I'm good to go for now.
thanks,
pens
Speedy recovery to ya Pens!

thanks everyone, see the doc wed. most likely therapy later in the week.
Iceman, I spent some time the last couple days looking for your butter dish but no luck so far
pens hope all is well
seemore............. ???
Hi there pens,
it would be appreciated if yoiu share with us what the doctor said. Hope all is well.
HR
take care of your self...do what the doctor says...then dance like that penquin on your keyboard....do u sell those?
Thank you everyone for the concern and well wishes:
OK Doc update, he told me he completely cleaned out the whole shoulder joint, there was a lot of arthritis and big bone spurs, he said the spurs were bigger than he thought they were and there was more arthritis than expected. He checked how much movement I could do without too much pain and wanted me to go to PT. I told him I was not working and my insurance charges a $30 per visit copay for PT and I could not go. So he showed me several exercises and stretches to do at home and wants to see me in two weeks. He removed the stitches and said it was healing fine. So all in all, things are looking pretty good, do my stretches a couple times each day to improve range of motion then work on strengthening the shoulder. Still taking the pain meds, mainly at night but so far so good.

I need either more pain meds or a lot of adult beverages before you see me dancing like the penguin is, lol ;D
Do I sell what? penguins? keyboards? or dance lessons.... ;D
Sounds like the report I got on the followup visit.
I'm glad to hear you are feeling better.
Sounds like everything is healing good, moving your arm in just over a week is always a good sign and PT (weather you do it your self or go see some one) is the best thing for full recovery and full rotation.
With the damage i did to my shoulder the doc didnt think i would ever be able to have full rotation let alone be able to clap my hands above my head, but i showed him. Got it all back
Thanks it sounded pretty good to me also, not sure about the whole arthritis thing though.
Hi pensrock,
the only PT exercises you have to make is more smoking and more recipe posting. I will add an extra prayer for you as I know folks like you will not go out from arthritis, it has to be from either indigestion or too much smoke inhalation.
HR
;D
got a few ideas floating around
Boy I'm behind the times.
Didn't know you were being upgraded :D. Hope your feeling better. As long as you can pick up a rib..
Me either, I guess I completely did not see those posts. In my underemployment, I don't seem to get on line much when I'm at home - especially with the back acting up. Good to hear you are on the mend Pens! Ocycotin or Loratabs - don't matter - both some of the best medicines ever made when you need it! However, my two personal NP's had me so worried about getting hooked on them, I didn't take as many as I should have! ;D ;D
feeling better each day, cut way back on the oxycodine?(sp) take one at bedtime and one during the afternoon after doing the stretching exercises. A bit painful but on the mend. I'm ready for some 12oz pull ups but not while on the meds. ;D
Oh yeah... wobbly pops mix well with the meds.... in a "wake up later on the kitchen floor" kind of way...
:D :D
