Re: Sexyman is all busted up
Thanks again everyone.
Just an update. I'm up and around, but will be out of work for at least another week. I started physical therapy this week and am starting to get a lot of motion back in my arm. The pain is not as bad as it was and I'm only taking the drugs at night so I can sleep.
I won't be needing surgery and should be healed in another 4 weeks. Doc said My strength should be 100% in another 10 weeks. So I'm very happy about that.

Check your mail at home in about 3-5 days. Nurse Meg is sending you something.
I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay.

Okiedokes Meggie weggie.
On a good note, I saw the doc today and it seems I WON'T be needing surgery after all. I can also get back to the gym and back to work. I'm healing very quickly and am getting a little bit stronger every day.

Re: Sexyman is all busted up
OK, I guess I shoul dgive an update.
I'm about 70% now. I can move my arm around without a lot of pain, just a lot of soreness all day.
Been working for a few weeks, and no big problems, although I quit my current job and am starting a new job on Monday. Go me.
Also got myself a car, not much to brag on, but it gets me around.
Back to the gym, working out 3 days a week now. I'm up to 12# bicep curls on my left arm. Just, oh 40 lbs to go. lol

Update: 18 months later.
FINALLY I have little to no pain in my shoudlers when lifting. I'm very healthy and powerlifting competitively. I recently took 1st in the CT open Deadlifting championships for 181lb class. Lifted 420 while weighing 175. I'll be in my first bench meet in 2 weeks and hope to hit a 235 bench to go along with (hopefully) a 445 deadlift.
I think it's safe to say, I'm all better.
