Anybody heard how Frank's rotator cuff surgery went or how the recovery is going?

Hi all! Yep, I had my surgery last Wed. (2/20) and back home the same day. Hurts like hell, but I'm on the mend. 3 torn rotator cuff tendons, AC joint repair (Mumford decompression), removal of numerous "loose body's" (chunks of small free floating bits of cartilage), and several bone spurs removed. Shoulder was a mess! :whaa:

He sent a photo of him and the machine. But I won't post; I;ll let Frank post the photo. It's not something you would take a walk with, but I guess they are great for pain relieve while watching TV.

Well I'm really not into posting a photo of myself (would you?), but here's a stock pic of what the machine looks like:

Interesting. I had a relatively extensive rotator cuff surgery about a year ago and never even heard about something like that.

Yeah, my surgeon sent me home with what's known as a cold therapy machine, it's basically a high tech method of icing my shoulder to keep the swelling down, really helps with the pain. It's especially helpful at night because it can run continuously through the night at a controlled temperature (I slept on my back in my lazy boy recliner the first couple of nights). I'm already only using it during the day. It's called the Game Ready Cold Therapy Compression System, it essentially pumps/ circulates ice water at a controlled temp through that shoulder wrap you see. Check it out if your interested.

So damn, making this run not looking too favorable... HA! See 'ya in October! :)

BTW, Kat snapped this pic with her cellphone just outside of Boulder on her way home from work yesterday. A woman was driving it... Nice license plate!

I got the TENs and ice after each PT session but the therapist wanted me to use it several times a day. I didn't really think I got much out of it. Gave it to JJ when I was done with it to use on the horses.

Actually the vets use them on horses quite a bit. Supposedly helps increase blood flow and speeds healing of muscle/tendon injuries for them. Of course they probably don't like it much either. :)

I guess I will be eating out on Saturday night. No dinner at the outpost for me that night! :)

Hopefully the weather is better this spring. Didn't get to enjoy any of those fires last year! Also my new parts are starting to arrive. My mail room is about to turn into my personal storage unit. According to my package tracker everything is suppose to arrive this and next week. Should be fun to see how they handle this.

Sounds like a plan Brian. We have some catching up to do anyways! :cheers: Don't want to have duck butt breath in case I get pulled over by the Moab popo! :no:
