Well good morning all y’all. Put up some pages for sure while I was out playing the helpless husband. Jodi has been a Saint. When I was in pre op and the anesthesiologist approached me with the four ft long needle to jab in my neck I knew I was in for a ride. He told me I might want to be very still and look away. He used a sonagram machine to stab me in the nerve bundle. It was eErie watching him guide needle in via the screen. But holy smokes when they say it is a nerve block they be serious. It lasted almost thirty hours. Arm was lifeless. But when it wore off…. Morphine and oxy could barely keep it palatable. Today is my first narcotic free day and I am liking it. Not really sure what the attraction is to oxy as it just made me go to sleep? Getting ready to head off to first official PT session. If anyone is curious getting a total shoulder replacement is a no fun event. But honestly I think I have less pain today than prior to surgery. So all good. Surgeon did tell me in no uncertain terms I got my moneys worth out of the original parts! He explained no real traumatic evidence of major injury just fundamentally flat wore out! Basically gone. Heck I could have told him that for free!
