oh, i'm sorta back...

at least i'm back to work 1/2 time today and tomorrow. spent this morning in lab and i must say, it was nice to be back. i was bored out of my mind this week (bored, yet tired).

good news on the shoulder: arthroscopic surgery only! they shaved off some of the acromion (bone) and inspected the rest of the tendons, which looked good. weird, given that the mri results indicated a tear, but hey, i won't complain. 3 teeny incisions that are pretty well healed and that's it. i've been to PT twice this week and have 2/week scheduled for another few weeks. i see the doc next monday and will get an estimated return-to-hockey date, because really, that's all i care about! i'm hoping 2 months but am cautiously thinking 3 or 3.5

so far i've got good ROM and strength for this type of surgery, so hopefully i'll keep healing that way. beginning with a nap, because i'm exhausted!

Comments:

Woo hoo for arthroscopic surgery. Adding my healing thoughts to everyone elses that are coming your way. (I didn't want to have to pay the extra toll for sending them seperately. Oh what the heck, I'll send some seperately too - you're with it Cheddah!)
