Hi to all my wonderful POG family,

   i am home from the hospital, still a bit groggy and the nerve block to the rotator is wearing off, now the true pain is setting in !!!
hopefully the percocets will do the job !!

   i am told the rotator cuff is a slow painful recovery, if anyone can give me a few pointers on the recovery details i would be grateful,

   OK, i want to thank each and everyone of you guys for the warm thoughts and prayers, this is a great family of brothers and sisters !!!

   i will keep everyone in the loop as to how my recovery is progressing and then the cervical spine surgery to follow,

   thanks again,
  regards,

Mike Gallagher, NJ.

Mike, Like I told you before. Do what you're told. Do nothing with that arm. Listen to the physical therapist. And at this time of the year, don't even think about walking anywhere near ice. Sounds dumb, but one of the guys I was doing PT with just went to get the mail and slipped at the end of his driveway. He tore everything apart and had to go back in for surgery. Let other people help you.
Meanwhile, The Husky is bankrupting me!!

Thanks Big Mike for the update.  Keep us posted and listen to Gordon.  You are in my Prayers.  You have my number if you need to hear that Texas Twang on the other end of the phone.

Well, I'm a potter so rotators and carpel tunnel problems are the cost of the trade. We all get together from time to time to show off the new scars.

Physical therapy is what it is all about. Do exactly what they say, no more or no less, and communicate. There is the right pain and there is the wrong pain, so talk through it until you are both on the same page. And the good news is that the pain will pass one day (and not a day too soon ).

I agree 100 percent! My left pec was severed from my shoulder and upper arm bicep area and surgery/recovery was long and painful. I was actually scared when I started rehab because I worried that I would tear the repair apart.  My pHysical therapist(who is also an amputee and in good shape)reassured me and got me started safely. He kept me focused through the pain and soreness.They know works-there is a lot science and good medicene in rehab.

Ditto to the above, Big Mike.  I've had great rehab guys for both my knees.  Trust their instructions and limits.  After a while it will be tempting to "push" the limits but listen to these people.  They know what they're talking about.  When the time is right, they'll move you to the next square.
God bless, bro!

HI Mike been talking to the guys that have torn there's you need to stay on that ice machine that pumps COLD water to the pack that is wrapped around your shoulder and don't move it for a week. You need something stronger than what you are taking the guys hear used morphine or demoral tablets watch out you don't get hooked. As soon as you feel better start your physical therapy ASAP not like here Mike my friends got there's cut from 30 to 6 not enough! I work in industry were it is easy for just about any type of injury but most of the ones are knee and shoulder. To bad Conan the Barbarian in are state rely put it to us and now we can't even get any real help when we get hurt the best thing is don't get hurt at work! Take care Mike,Ed

Mike.

Take it a step at a time, not all at once.

Take care and wish you a speedy, but sure, recovery.
