Well, rotator cuff and bicep repair surgery one week from today. Can’t think of much else to do. Expecting one more package to arrive, but otherwise, all set. Ha. What that really means is we’ll figure out all we didn’t think of later when we get to it. There are lots of products out there to make one-hand life easier, but some of them are a bit more spendy, and since this is a temporary situation, we should be ok.
Getting my hair cut super short this weekend. Might as well. I don’t want to have to deal with it more than I have to, with one arm/hand.
You’d think reading might be a good activity while I’m recovering, but I’m not sure how to prop open books so I can read easily. Haven’t even gotten the official sling, so I have no idea how bulky or where that will occupy space. If I’m achy at all, I have no doubt I might use that as an excuse to watch movies instead. First week I’m not planning on doing much besides home PT exercises. Know someone who had similar surgery at the same place and their nerve block took 3 days to wear off. We’ll see what happens.
I'm a lot less nervous this time (so far) even though I'm pretty sure recovery is going to be so much worse this time.
