I got the call a little bit ago...surgery will be at 1030 tomorrow. I pray that recovery isn't as bad as I've heard.

Re: In need of a few prayers, please.
Surgery went well. They removed the bursa and bone spurs, as well as a portion of bone that caused impingement. While in there, they found a minor tear in the rotator cuff, along with two other tendon tears that they repaired. My arm is in an immobilizer sling, and I'm trying to wean myself off the opioid pain meds and to something less problematic. I'm lucky that I have a wife willing to assist me with mundane tasks.
I appreciate everyone's prayers.

I'm glad things are going better for you. Those pain meds can be a problem for people who are easily addictive. I for one am not. I hope you aren't either. Looks like you are in for plenty of down time. Maybe a few good books to keep you occupied.

Good news Jon. I've been praying for you for both your medical and financial issues and will continue until the storm passes. The only time I ever needed prescription pain meds. I couldn't keep them down long enough to get relief or addicted. At least mild over the counter stuff works pretty well for me and I don't take them unless grinning and bearing don't work. Take care and do all the recovery things well so you beat this thing. ___Dave

Re: In need of a few prayers, please.
I've never been the type to get addicted to pain meds or alcohol...I drank in my younger years prior to becoming a father, rather heavily and frequently, and walked away from it without a single craving. I've had some pretty strong and addictive pain meds in the past and was able to quit just as easily. My weaning myself from them has to do with OIC, which is no fun

Re: In need of a few prayers, please.
Jon, glad to learn the surgery was successful and you are doing well. Sounds like your shoulder was similar to mine, with impingement and partial rotator cuff tear.
As soon as the doctor says it's okay, start the re-hab process and don't not take any shortcuts! Rehab with good physical therapists is the key to returning to full and pain free use of your shoulder. It's hard work but looking back on it, it is worth every bit of it. My shoulder has been pain free for nearly two years now since completing rehab. I can lift and move 50 lb. feed sacks and other routine daily activities - not like when I was twenty of course, but better than many my age.
I'll continue praying for you. Keep the faith. Matthew 6:24-35.

Good to hear! I understand about the food wife part. I've had ha d and elbow surgeries before that without my wife, I don't know what I would have done.

Now as to recovery, you mind the physical terrorists. They'll torture you for sure. But they'll help in the end.

Good to read your surgery went well! Therapy as directed and with the Lord's help you'll be getting use of that shoulder in a short time.
Praying you have a quick recovery!
