Good evening @itsally and @starfirey2K. It sure looks like May 19th is coming up for you next week @itsally. Is everything still a go for your Tapezius Tendon Transfer. I hope you get a new tennis racquet for Mother's Day. I am anxious to hear about your progress. Just in case, I am putting you on my "list" to check on.
And @starfirey2k , here is what I wish for you. I wish that you have no more pain or discomfort with your reverse shoulder surgery than I did. If so, then you will do very well. Because I would be alone in recovery, my surgeon came back to my room after his daughter's baseball game and we talked about recuperation, rehab, and pain management. He was and always has been a very attentive surgeon. Even the anesthesiologist joined our discussion. He was checking to make sure he did a good job keeping me without anesthesia side effects.
And then the surprise. My special gal friend drove up the driveway, unloaded her suitcases, jumped in my bed, and stayed a week. We went out to dinner day 2 and then started walking the trails on day 3. I had only one incident, I ran over the railing around the gas pump because I had the mobilizer on. BTW....you cannot drive, at least in CA with a mobilizer.
So.....I am wishing you both to be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
