Yikes, why was your car in the shop for that long? What was your accident, you probably posted about it but I canāt remember.

Good luck! My ortho was the first one in the US to do the reverse total shoulder replacement procedure. He did a rotator cuff repair on me. If you've had shoulder work done before, you know how long it takes to rehab; if not, well, it takes a long time to rehab .... In any case, get one of those icewater circulation machines if you don't already have one.I'm so bummed, surgery tomorrow at 7:30am. Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement means I won't be able to drive my Air for probably 6 whole weeks.
Guess I'll have to settle for relaxing with a bourbon on the rocks listening to Tidal in a reclined, massaged "stationary" Air.
Been there with both shoulders' rotator, I (unfortunately) know. Got my Iceman ready for another run, and my recliner set up for when I get home as my oasis.
Ask your anesthesiologist to add decadron to the nerve block and Exparel if they have it
want to make sure it lasts as long as possible.I will try and remember, better write those 2 down. He's a golf buddy and want his side money back (mine).Ask your anesthesiologist to add decadron to the nerve block and Exparel if they have it

Good luck on the surgery and recovery, it sounds like you have a great doctor. The Air will be there for you when you can drive again.I'm so bummed, surgery tomorrow at 7:30am. Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement means I won't be able to drive my Air for probably 6 whole weeks.

I had a large tear in my left rotator cuff tendon and had surgery on March 13th, I was driving the AGT defensively 5 days later and am planning to play nine this Thursday. Shout out to Dr. Greg Nicholson and the team at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush who also repaired my right rotator cuff tendon in 2018 after I wrecked it.I'm so bummed, surgery tomorrow at 7:30am.

Agree. I had a hip replaced and my surgeon used a great ice machine: NICE. Instead of loading ice, one just puts in a tiny amount of distilled water and like a refrigerator, it then will generate the cold needed for the ice pack. Works great.
It does sound a lot nicer than the bags of frozen peas I was putting on my husband's shoulder after his rotator cuff surgery.
He did my 90 year old grandpaās shoulder when he was 86, did great.
A tip from a reformed serial dislocator: use water bottles in the ice machine instead of ice; just freeze a bunch of water bottles and swap them out as needed. Works great.
I'm almost 24 hours out and feel great. It's true, replacement less painful than rotator cuff repair. Both of them were horrible.
