keyhole for an a***hole

[nobody in particular]

not that many would cqre but i mentioned a while back im lined up for shoulderreco surgery..both are trashed so one at a time so i can wipe myself etc.. went in tuesdaymorning was out of surgery just after midday. supraspinatus and infra were  known complete snapped biceps unknown so the call was if it aint broke dont fix but if bad or ready to snap etc there are option utilise them whilst im in theatre..

woke feeling ok.. followig is as explained to my un medically qualified self 

turns out when threy got in there it was pretty bad. ideal is they rip out at the bone and take a small poece with  much easier to reattach and bone mends more successfully than tendon. well both of them were snapped mid tendon  threy almost aborted then and there but since i was so optimistic (pain in the neck dont want to schedule another procedure more like) it was victory or valhalla and they persevereed managing to stretch them and suture.  this is the relatively risky one as thry are under considerable added tension whilst trying to knit and thius injury happened pre covid(i delayed things to get enough earned - blue collar bloke so do what i can- to ensure family would be ok for the future  dont regret it im no hero my family are just fucken worth it. big reason i despise 'me me me' trust fund hanky

biceps tendons was in top shape. so now its an uphill battle

4 weeks immobilised in an orthopedic sling then slow gradual passive stretches and return to full range. introduction of light stretchband work then by about 4 months i might be able to give the barbell a gentle look butno plates working up to dad bod poundages. ive benched 300lbs for a single with both sides snappedup and had surgery date not come up at short noitice was improving and 350 was maybe possible. so think its reasonable to head that way if all goes well. knowing i could do it snapped up relatuively painfree (relatively) with the revised bar path/groove means it shouldnt tax repaired bits post h100% healing process.. .overhead pressing will forever be far more modest on purpose

left side is only slightly less stuffed  if thius goes well will push for that asap thereafter.

Just want to say staff were all rockstars - nurses anaesthetists surgeons the lot.. we have public health care here and im blood grateful for it. does my head in that a lot of patients are nasty to the staff. try living in some third world shithole and experience the difference.

bless you all. carrty on

Dear diary

[nobody in particular]

im in a sling for the next 4 months can't do fuck all. posts even went up here as teh date was confirmed and i reduced and finally stopped work hours in the final run, just in case there was an earlier option (people cancel and anyone able to say yes at short notice get the sugar)

jesus at least Im not posting links to dick pics of that black ex con fellow

Great reception by staff and surgeons etc is important for a good recovery IMO.
Unfortunately IMHO surgeons are always in such a hurry IME and never have time questions

I recommend you start immediate heavy bench pressing along with weighted pullups.

Be sure to utilize a "nutrition cocoon" and heavy steroid regimen.

The above will speed your healing.

I am slated for shoulder replacement surgery in about 10 days. No cartilage, and a gnarly bone spur.

They already have me on pain treatment: Journavx and also I had some kind of cryotherapy injection, together they are doing a pretty good job, I can tell because I'm more aware of all my other aches and pains now LOL.

Doc is supposed to be pretty good.

How long have you had this leading up to surgery?  Keep us posted and good luck!

Sorry to hear it brother.......I can relate.

I wish you a quick and complete recovery..........all the best !

Do you mean how long have I been having the pain treatment? About 8 days on the pills, just got the shot on Tuesday.  They say that between the two, my pain after surgery should be fairly minimal (that'd be nice). Surgery is Nov 25.

If you mean how long have I suffered with this before finally biting the bullet for surgery, I'd say 5-7 years, I really can't remember.   Once I got on medicare there was no reason not to do it.

Thanks and you too.

Good to hear everything worked out fine Nobie!

Love ya man!

oops also forgot to say gracias - when I actually got the green light (seems like over a year) for surgery and on the bottom of the wait list, i posted here with a couple of post surgery biochem questions - thanks to the advice I got there. I was first cab off the rank that morning, so got a little face time with the surgeons. ONe of thge procedures here is the patient has to describe their understanding of the procedure they were about to undergo. i aswered as best i could bro science / bro vocab my way there . The fact I had some knowledge of the muscle groups, idiosynchrasies of biceps tendon attachment two at the top one at the bottom and how one crosses the joint (which is of course  bare basics info really esp by the levels some of the people here have knowledge wise) they indulged me a little so I got to ask peripheral questions about outcomes and shit. if this round fucks up and they agree to go back in the current tech is peeling some strands from the pec (can't recall if it's muscle and tendon or just muscle - i think i heard muscle can become tendon if utilised in the same location, but i could be tripping balls and muddled it as i was under anaesthesia just minutes later..

I'll likely be posting more often for a little while just out of boredom, and being unable to do much physicaly fort eh next little while. I will do my best not to go full retard and discuss diet of 3 potatoes and daily undulating training progams etc.

Dokey my best wishes to you hope yours goes super smooth and optimal results!

Ironat -appreciate the 'george costanza opposites' advice. But applying the reverse filter you are spot on and it's why bhany fucks up. Doing all the right things and otimising the nutrition etc wil give the best outcome - which could be defined along the lines of %age of pre injury function and resilience maxxing out. What CAN'T be done is to accelerate the healing process. IT takes time and only bong hitting adult children think they are the exception and next level elite. slow is fast allow the TIME it will inevitably take it'll be as good as it can be.You just have to pay your dues time wise. a bit like being with a woman. no means no , you can't just beat consent into/out of them. Unless you have brianna's lawyers anyway.

Thankyou all please have a good one
