All About Pocket Knives

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.

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.

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. They are a blessing.

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!
