Thank you Everyone for the well wishes! They are much appreciated. 8)

Thank you, Ranger Holmchicken, and I will definitely be following the Doc's orders.

Well, it went better than expected, as the other half said. I haven't gotten the full scoop yet, as I only spoke to the Doc briefly before discharge. I have a f/u on tomorrow, so I will know more then, and get my video of the procedure, which I can't wait to see. :D What I know as of now is, he said he saw no tear, but that something was hanging-up on the ligaments. This caused alot of inflammation and tissue build-up. They did some debridement and sub-acromial decompression. All-in-all, I'm very pleased, and glad that part is over. It was a learning experience. If all continues to go well, by spring I should be in the O.R. again, but this time running the Mayo or atleast riding a retractor, not as the patient. :wink:

The assisted PT we're doing now sucks donkey balls, but this too shall pass. :lol:
