Mornin', folks! The weekend is here, and who cares what I 'look like'. I got my coffee...will provide some for the rest of you, too.

The temperature out my way was supposed to hit 93-95 both days this weekend. Got 'lucky', in that we'll hit 97 on Monday. :p
Everyone else, please stay cool, eh?

Verdict, not good. My left rotator cuff repair had "fell apart", exact words from my Doc. I was in surgery almost twice as long as before on JUL 11th. I woke-up in PACU in a lot of pain. No nausea. and no HTN issues. I was dishcarged to home from PACU. My Doc told Susan this is like starting all over, i.e. day #1. He also said my rehab will take at least 6 months. :(

Again....no lifting of ANYthing heavier than a coffee cup. Not even that, unless ok'd by MD. Sheesh; when you do something, you do it right, don't you? :p

How long was surgery?

Again, I'm in a lot of pain. So, my sense of humor meter is reading on the low side at this time. JUL 11 surgery was under 90 mins., yesterday's was around 150 mins.
