The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsOnce more, my dear friends.......Vibes for tomorrow's surgery, if you will!
I am cleared for takeoff...er, surgery, tomorrow.
Today I got my shattered teeth removed and temporary caps applied. Whew, thank goodness that's over! It's not painful, just tedious. My dentist is a very good man, and he takes excellent care of me!
Anyway, my surgeon knows all this, and it's cool.
My right shoulder hurts like hell, and it's time for it to be replaced. I am more than ready!
I know there will be anesthesia weirdness, and post-op weirdness, but that will pass, and I will heal...
Thank you all for standing by me...

CaliforniaPeggy
(150,019 posts)I didn't lose consciousness, which is a good thing but oh boy......hearing that was well.........shattering.
I'll try to enjoy the anesthesia weirdness, but I tend to be awfully nauseated....oh well, this too shall pass!
Thank you, my dear redwitch!

One thing I made sure I did -- I made sure I got the surgical team to SWEAR that I wasn't
going to show up on YouTube the next day flapping like a chicken with 400,000 hits.
.
Not unless they, as a group, took me out for dinner and a movie first.

Take it slow, take your pain meds and take your rehab instructions seriously.

(150,019 posts)Actually, my MD says the recovery for the shoulder isn't as strenuous as for the knee...I hope so!
Thank you for your very thoughtful words!
I will be hobbled for a while, arm in a sling and all that...Hopefully not for too long...

(20,219 posts)As a veteran of a plethora of various surgeries I am a veritable expert.
Nurses in recovery are wonderful, generally. Very kind and compassionate. You should be in good hands.

(2,682 posts)for your sore shoulder -- hooray for medicine! Good luck with the surgery, take it easy afterwards then do whatever exercises are recommended. You'll be right as rain before you know it.

I hope you get tag-team sponge-bathers, just like MiddleFingerMom.

(2,176 posts)Sometimes it sucks getting older doesn't it? I know, because I am. I was luckier then you, but took the same fall just a week ago. I got some face and lip abrasions and fell hard on my knee, which still hurts. I hit a patch of ice, but I remember when I could recover from that. Oh well this too shall pass. Please feel better soon!
