Wish Me Luck-Having shoulder surgery on wednesday.

red82gt · 05-08-2001, 02:19 AM

I'm heading to Vancouver tomorrow and then having the surgery done on Wed. After years of abuse from football I have to have the tendons on the back of my shoulder tightened to keep it from popping out the back of the socket. I'm a little worried about this, it's a lot more major than when I had my knee scoped a couple of years back, not to mention I'll lose the use of my right arm for 6 weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to post on Thursday and let you guys know how it went.

Good luck!

Are you left handed or right handed? If your right handed you aren't going to be able to do very much for a while

.

You won't even be able to drive your stang will you?

Got it done, I'm right handed so I feel completely useless, I have to keep my arm pointing straight ahead and I can't let it go across my body, I won't be able to drive for a month, and I have to type one handed. Thanks guys.
