Getting some surgery tomorrow

[Milky Weed]

It’s orthoscopic shoulder surgery, so I’m not super worried. First time getting surgery though and abit nervous.

I just plan on eating ungodly amounts of edibles for the pain, any of y’all got some good tips?

Relax and don’t waste your edibles. They’ll take care of you.

Outpatient? You'll be fine. 4 rotors torn and dislocation; I went in at 6:30 am and was awake by 12:30pm. Don't skimp on the PT after. Will be kinda shitty next 2 months but not unbearable

depends what they are doing, but I wouldn't refuse the pain meds they will prescribe, just in case. I had rotator cuff repair done that way, and it was pretty easy, but the months of PT that followed and wearing a sling 24/7 for weeks sucked.

Good luck!! Next I need a total shoulder replacement on the other arm. NOT in any hurry for that one!!

Modern medicine is awesome milky!...(whisper) but use a sharpie marker on the shoulder...a big fat NO on ur good shoulder lol

Take the meds they offer
They are watered down opiates and not enough to hook u
And then go to PT as long as your insurance covers it
Then pay for a few extra months usually only like $25 a month to continue
Much better than any gym for targeting recovery
Good luck

Modern medicine they ask you which arm up to the moment you are operated on

Yeah I been putting this one off for about 3 years. At first I was real worried about the pain meds, cause I used to be an addict. My plan was to ask for 3 days worth to get me through the worst of it.

But y’all are right, I don’t see myself relapsing over a few hydrocodone. I should not be as worried.

You'll also get some weird pain lower down your arm; called referred pain cuz the nerve bundle in the shoulder is traumatized and spazzed out. It hurts but it's not real, you aren't injured down there, they didn't touch that lol

A tip though...They often recommend sleeping in a recliner the first few weeks, but I bought a wedge and was able to sleep in my bed from day 1.

And ice packs are your best friend.

Thank you so much for this, I think I can build a wedge quick until someone can grab me one. I was worried about this.

I’d show you the inside of one of my masks but you’d probably barf.
