Hi,broke my arm very badly and am scheduled for surgery [View all]

on Friday. Can any body tell me what I am in store for? Pain? (I am already in excrciating pain - the break is right at the top of the humerous near the shoulder.), Recovery time?, Mobility?

I would just like to know what I am in for, so if anyone could share their exprience, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
