For those that give a shit 1 surgery down 2 to go on the arms

[coloradoman25]

Surgery 1 was a success. Left shoulder labral tears with nerve issues, bone spurs and floating fragments, a bicept tear, a rotator cuff repair, and 2 anchor screws and muscle stitched together all anchored back in place by drillin some holes in my bones and puttin in anchors. Onlt 3 zippers this round

No idea what the fuck it all is but I got some damn cool pics of it lol.

Gaining feeling back in the left hand that I havent had in better than a decade. The pins and needles effect in my fingers is strangely welcome as I havent felt it in years. Heres to hoping this is the first step to feeling normal again.

Im waiting to see how long ill be in the sling this round but my guessis 6-8 weeks minimum with 6 months pt. Once this is clear they move to the right shoulder and do the work there. Then following that there is some nerve shit they need to do in my left again involving my elbow and something now with my ulnar nerve.

Big props to the doc who seems to be doing some amazing shit here seems my nerves havent been dead just dormant due to the muscle crap or vice versa. I swear they talk in fucking circles when your there...I think they just really wanna cut.

Combination of living invinicibly for years, going the route of professional bass fisherman for a while, and having a bone degradation issue. All in all wouldnt trade the life I have been living for anything but its taken its toll lol.

Thanks everyone!

I have been living with these tears and damage in my arms for a long time I hve had surgeries before this one for these same issues. Part of it comes from just being a hard headed motherfucker that doesnt "take care" of himself and treats his body like hes 18. I did it all to myself but lived without fixing it for FAR TO LONG. That is the whole why I got into flippin and building. I am hoping I can get more into playing and living again now that the fingers are workin.

they put in any bionics while they were in there? 6 million dollars isn't as much money today, but tech is getting cheaper. if they offer to rebuild one of your legs, insist that they do both. You don't want your other leg torn from your body while attempting to run at warp speed

hope you recover well, man. How long until your next surgery?

Glad things are going up. Good luck on the rest.

Never knew bass fishing was that hard on the body. And here I was thinking it was nothing more than weekend fun
Speedy recovery man

You gotta watch out for those ill tempered sea bass. yeah, they're no sharks with frikkin laser beams on their heads, but they can be a bitch to reel in.


All kidding aside, glad to hear the surgery went well Chris.
Hope the rest go great to.
