I finally have a date for surgery. Its the 4th of June. They have to reattach a tendon in my right sholdersocket.6 to 8 weeks in a sling, Then 7 to 9 months therapy-recovery time. Everything else is unknown until this surgery is performed. More time to aggravate on here!! Chin up,best foot toward!! Selling my camper and moving near my Daughter soon after surgery, going to need help for this.

Wish you the best Greywolf and hope your recovery after surgery will be a swift one! Your friend, Missy

Thank You Missy! Maby if i'm feeling good enough to drive i may see some of you in Texas for the mingle you were talking about? At least meet some honest people in person(for once)! Too many (Uppidies) in my area? Your Friend(Will) 2 things that haven't caught up with some people is Age and Class!!

Wishing you a fast recovery and good healing!
Perhaps you can take some time for yourself. Put your feet up, relax!
6-8 weeks in a sling is a tough one! You'll definitely be strengthening the other arm! There are bonuses to that!
I'll keep you in my prayers, gray! Be well!

:) keep us posted and safe surgery!

Thanks to everyone! But for putting my feet up? Adapt and Overcome has been my life motto! I have a lot of woodworking,with other projects to finish!! I can't use a drawknife or handplane now, so i bought a beltsander. Nothing short of Death will keep this Graywolf down for long!! Then there is Gardening,Flowers(especially Roses)and of course Grandchildren to teach what i have learned through life!! And a Daughter and Son-in-law to drive crazy!! Whoops i had better rethink that one( Might get my butt paddled) Ok i'm up for Adoption as of NOW!! If i get paddled i'm going to at least enjoy it!!

too funny!

Well here we go again!
I went for my consultation yesterday, they finally told me what the extent of my injuries were.
Damage to the rotorcup and torn ligiment and tendons. There are needing to make 4 one inch incisions around my sholdersocket to make repairs. I also went through preadmission yesterday. There i was told i was high risk because of sleep actina because,My age,snoring,and don't sleep a straight 7 hrs.each night?( Hell i haven't done that since i was 30!) and my age? All this is is i stop breathing in my sleep. Still same after surgery, 6 to 8 weeks in a sling, then therapy, but now adding up to 1 year recovery! One good thing i get some sleep during surgery. Thank you again for your time, i'm just calling it as i'm told. (Will) Have a good day!!
