Shoulder surgery...

[micks_sandman]

I think that one might have a bit of filler and prior body work once you took it back to its undies.....

Yes well the filler I use looks a little different to that

That is Gold! Jennie you left yourself.....(changes miind on words to use)....out on a limb with that comment!

All operations are a risk.... Last time I was in hospital they killed me!!!! Seriously, I died on the table, was clinically dead for 5 minutes, took them 4hrs to get me stable and I woke up in intensive care... Was a simple cartilage op on my left knee. Turned out I am severely allergic to anaesthetics.

Hope all goes well for you.

Well, I lived through it all!!!!

Thanks everyone for your kind wishes and stories.

The operation went really well and I'm now looking forward to a long recovery period that should take 4 to 6 months in total.

I felt pretty good this morning when the doctor came to my room with a big smile on his face and just said "It's rock-solid now Rob". I've got some carbon/Kevlar twine (rope? string?) and a couple of titanium screws holding it all together and the X-Rays show my shoulder joint is now (after 14 months) back where it should be.

Pain isn't too bad considering the drugs I'm on.

Gotta stop typing... hand is going numb!

Thanks everyone.

Onya Rob.....great to hear all went well

Far out Absinth....scary stuff!!

I must be the only bloke on the planet that doesn't like morphine. Last operation I ended up without pain killers as they made me feel even worse!!!!

Hellava way to find that out Abs! So what happens if you need some other operation, is there an alternate type of anesthetic they can use?

Good to hear that news Rob, touch wood there is complete pain free movement in your near future!

Ivan I still wonder what my folks thought of me when (recovering from a knee reconstruction in 1990 after coming off my roadbike in a big way) while lying in hospital doped to the gills on pethedine I was watching ceiling tiles detatch themselves and move
/swap positions with other ceiling tiles.... Seemed real to me at the time!
