JB had shoulder surgery today.
We knew it was coming, we just didn't know it was as bad as it was.
It seems that he tore his bicep tendon and the rotator cuff was shredded. The surgery took longer than anticipated and now we'll find out how well he does at following orders. 6 weeks in a sling except when doing PT. 6 weeks he can't lift anything! Will I make it 6 weeks without killing him?
(For the record, he's been home for less than 3 hours and he's watching QVC and the game show network already.)
Mine was shredded ATH when they got in there as well. You tell him, from one who knows well (3 shoulder surgeries) he BETTER listen. He will get bored as all heck though. At least he won't miss any of the NCAA tournament.
ReplyDeleteGood luck...that he heals well...and behaves :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad he made it through the surgery okay...and that QVC watching is dangerous...you know they sell tools and football stuff, right? *LOL* Also, the hard part is going to be week 4, 5 and 6 when JB is feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you. Rob was on disability for four months last year. I was ready to run away from home.
ReplyDeleteI tore my bicep a few years ago. Didn't need surgery but the therapy was grueling. Prepare for some bad moods during therapy.
I'm so glad the surgery went well for him. I remember when my dad had shoulder surgery - make sure JB does what he's instructed to.
ReplyDeleteMy dearly beloved's shoulder clicks when he rotates it. Wore out something swimming in college. Keep the credit cards and phone away from that man when he's watching QVC, and make Beau and Lucy sit on him if necessary. Good luck to you both. Glad he came through it well.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep JB and your sanity in my prayers. ;-)
ReplyDeleteouch.
ReplyDeletegive him hugs from us...especially Fred!
QVC and eBay kept the Knight indoors and almost behaving after his hip replacement, but not without a PRICE... Sending behaving vibes your way!
ReplyDeletegood luck honey. that does not sound like a fun surgery. being incapacitated is soooo frustrating.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I had shoulder surgery a few years ago, but it wasn't that bad... just a bunch of bone spurs and a hole through my bursa.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to BOTH of you during the recovery.
Get well soon Mr. Jay!
ReplyDeleteSheesh, Mr. Jay really hates those Eagles too doesn't he: Eagles colored socks, Eagles pj pants, Eagles pull over sweatshirt, Eagles Hat, Eagles Mug, Eagles blanket on the back of the couch....wowi zowi he's completely Eagled out.
