Oct 16, 2006 I had my surgery. It was out patient and everything went very well. I was surprised at how good I felt afterwards. But then comes the reality. The pain is in physical therapy... They stretch you and move you until it hurts. No Pain No Gain. That must be where it came from. I still cant sleep very well at night, I keep trying to sleep without the pain killer and Sleeping pill. About 4 am I finally get out of bed and give up take my medicine and go right to sleep. I don't like taking drugs of any kind but I really got worried the other day when I kept trying to get ahold of my Dr for a refill on my sleeping pills. He finally called back about 5:00 pm. I was so thankfull. My Pain medication I only take 1/2 one before I go to sleep, that is when it hurts the most. As for Therapy I can move most everything in the Forward motion, now it's time to work on the backwords motion. Trying to reach behind me is very painfull. But then again that' s where this all started. Trying to tie my apron, or anything like that. And at night I wasnt able to sleep because of the shoulder pain. I have lots of new exercise toys to work out with at home. I still havnt gone back to work yet, we'll see what the Dr has to say on my next visit the 17th of Nov.
