Holy crap, don't know how I missed this thread. Best of luck to you through this whole ordeal. Cheers.
day 2 post shoulder op. Feels like a gorilla ripped my left arm off. Got 2 ice packs bein changed often to keep the swelling down, and on 2 painkillers alternating every 2hours, so I get about 1.5hrs pain relief at a time. Obviously sleep is near impossible, having to lie on my back and cant move at all in any direction
Sarge look after yourself ....I am glad the funnies thread brings a smile to your face .. some more just going on now ... regards as ever SMurf
Is porno really such a good idea under the circumstances? Need to have some really conscientious nurses.
Get yourself one of these... you can wear it all the time, & it'll help you sleep. It works by continuously pumping ice-cold water through the pad, so you don't have to keep changing out ice packs. Just keep adding ice to the pump. http://www.buyaircast.com/cryo-cuff-shoulder.htm
wow £70! I'll stick to callin my mrs to change my icepacks Im sure te lads have slipped few "strange" adult movies into the pile somewhere. frottge is ok, but its no comparison for the real thing
If they did slip in the odd adult movie then it could be more of an exercise in frustration than anything else! If you can hardly move your arms... Hope your recovering well Sarge, hang in there.
Yeah, it is expensive, but it's well worth it as it'll cut your recovery time in half. My mum had one for her shoulder surgery (torn rotator cuff), & it worked wonders.
Thanks guys, started doing some light work with the arm today, but boy did it hurt like a very sore thing, that gorilla was back beating me on the head with my severed arm lol
Have you got a good physiotherapist to work with Sarge? Not an NHS guy but a sports physio? If not, go see one now, it'll make all the difference. Mitch
