Update, had my 1st PT session today. I'm a little sore, as I anticipated that I would be. The good news is that my range of motion is looking really good, for someone just 11 days post-op.

I have effectively gotten off of the opioid pain meds. Last dose was midnight, last Thursday. I kicked the sling to the curb on Saturday, as I had noticed that keeping everything in the same position for extended periods of time was making it stiffen up. I do still wear the sling when I sleep, for protection, as I am a rather active sleeper.

Thanks everyone for the support!

Strange that you say that.  When I went to PT last Friday, I told the guy that I needed some new stuff, as I was no longer getting any positive benefits from what they were having me to do.  Tom, the head of PT came over, tested me, raised his eyebrows and said "You are weeks ahead of schedule, in terms of your range of motion.".  He gave me new, more challenging therapeutic movements to do, and said that my surgeon will be very pleased when he sees me again.

I usually don't visit this area of the board as much so I must've missed it. Glad to hear your surgery was a success Sunset!

Thanks, that vid was from a few weeks back.  My advice to anyone that has to undergo any sort of orthopedic surgical procedure, take the rehab seriously.  Treat it like it's your job.
