Jeff,
Sure hope all goes well with your surgery on the shoulder, etc. on Friday. A bunch of family folks will be thinking of you and anxious for a report. Sounds like it might be an overnight or so. Take care and do well. Make sure they do it up right this time.
PS-Take your satellite phone and your laptop. :D

I had nightmares last night about being prepped for surgery. The 'Big Guy' is really on my mind and in my prayers. That shoulder surgery sure hurts----for a long time >:( But it does eventually get better :)
Brother Noble, speaking of surgery, when ya gonna get that red thing removed from your nose? ::)
its been a while now since I had mine done and its still sore when I really stretch for something. That being said its not near as sore as it was before surgery.
Good luck Jeff, and pray for a cute physical therapist!!! :)
Well Jeff, I guess if you online that means the surgury went well?
Hope you feeling OK. Time to give that shoulder a rest so no typing for at least two hours ;D

Thinking about ya there Jeff. Here's to hoping you a swift as possible recovery!
WOW--that was quick---sure glad to have you back online this soon---and the shoulder heals just as quickly----did they put you a grease fitting in this time? ::)
Sandmar
Good to hear they didn't need to keep you overnight Jeff. Hope they got everything done right. :)
Musta been a sleep as I missed where you had to go back in. Glad to see you home and hope your feeling ok.
Glad to hear your home, I hope they gave you some good drugs for the pain
I'm not real big on that pain stuff ::)
Maybe I should elaborate a little more as to what they actually did to da boss...
Since he had a problem with the anesthesia last time, they decided to try a shoulder block (They insert a needle that is connected to a low current into the nerves in the side of the neck, when they find the nerve that makes his shoulder jump, they then inject a numbing drug into that area so they can do the surgery while he is awake.) After they do the shoulder block they gave him a drug in his IV that made him feel really spacey. When they were sure he was feeling nothing they went in and took 1/4 inch of his clavicle which should eventually allow the AC joint to move with out pain. While they were in there they opened a window to look at the rotator cuff and discovered a hole in it that the first surgeon apparently missed in the operation. They fixed the hole in the cuff and stitched him up. Were still not sure what all was done as we won't be able to talk to the surgeon until Monday. The doctor called me from surgery long enough to let me know Jeff was fine and they had fixed the problem. They let Jeff talk to me for a short minute and he sounded like he was out of it.
They did send him home with some good drugs. He has tried to type one handed, it is hard for him because he wants to use both hands. So his responses will probably be short for a while. Jeff had a rough night. He can't get comfortable anywhere but just can't stay away from the Forum completely.
Guess what he had me doing last night? Yes, sorting pictures! :D
OOOOOOOOOUCH! sounds like no fun to me. Thanks for the update and keep the pictures coming ;)
Sandmar
We are thankful that the surgery went well and pray that the recovery will be short.
Jeff hope the shoulder mends fast you've got mine and pats wishs for a fast recovery.

Jeff, You're a glutton for punishment - no sleep one weekend and then no sleep and PAIN :o the next!
Prayin' for ya big guy.

Jeff,
Was your problems all caused by arm motions during your sawyering on the automated circle mills or did you have an injury? Anyway, I hope they have all your problems under control.
OUCH
Looks perty sore. :) :) Hope ya start feeling better soon :) :). Maybe a potice of ;D GRITS ;D would take the soreness out. Just Kidding.
Ya, that looks like it hurts :'( but it's not as bad as I thought it would look if that's any consolation ;) ;D. Sounds like this Dr. did it right. Take it easy and TRY to enjoy the buzz ;)

yep Don, years on repetition. I talked to dr. this am and he said the a.c. was down to bone on bone so they trimmed it out to gove me room to move, plust the hole in the cuff where it was rubbing he stiched shut.
I'm very happy to hear that you are on the road to recovery Jeff , hoping that all goes well for you , I do know how you feel ... had not quite the same but very semilar ....
Thanks for the update Wildflower & Jeff, I guess you'll find out the rest of the story
Monday when you talk to the Dr. I was wondering are you going to be as good as
new, Are have to watch what you do from now on ???
I hope you got some good sleep last night , But I bet everytime you move much are
roll over it's probably pretty painful. I hope you get to feeling better real soon !!!
I sure hope you are feeling no pain Jeff. Relax....enjoy the big game today, and take a few of those pain pills.
Hope you get better soon. ;)
Hope you get healed quickly with minimal pain.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you so that the arm will heal correctly and they got everything fixed right this time.
Jeff, you must have had a very good DR this time around. I had more bruising and edema around my gall bladder incisions than that. It really looks great......hope it feels great soon too. By the way.......the pics I was talking about was you sorting FF pictures ::) But I enjoyed the one you sent also ;D
Sandmar...who understands how things get confused while on the pain meds.
Ha! You should see it today, the brusing is really starting. I dont feel any better today other then my mind is clear now, well, as clear as it normally is. :) Clear enough to be schemeing on how to get things done one handed.
Welcome back Kotter. ;D
DanG Jeff
You make me tired just reading about all the stuff you do......maybe the missus needs to get you some doggie downers till you can heal up some :-\
Sandmar
JEFF
Don't forget to update us on what you find out from the DR. today ;)
Jeff, glad to hear all went well and you are on the mend. Also gald to see you are probably the most addicted ff'er there is :D ;D
C'mon down, New Zealand in summer (ours) is a great place to recover. you're welcome anytime
Jeff, Glad you are doing well.
I had knee surgery two months ago and can tell you there are some real pretty physical therepy tech.'s., but they are meaner than He..... Oh, I am not supposed to use that word on the forum.
Well, away, these women are a real credit to their gender. I believe they are trying to rectify all the past wrongs that they feel men have done to them.
So, good luck at physical therepy.
