Been there; done that - twice

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I had the right one done in ’09 and the left one this year in April. Neither one was much fun. The right one was back to almost normal after only 4 months. My left is not even close yet but improving little by little. And what ABN said about getting it done immediately is the same thing my surgeon told me – the sooner the better.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]Best advice I can give you is to follow the surgeon’s directions to the letter and apply yourself to the therapy with gusto if you want a successful recovery.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]Sleeping in a bed is not going to happen for awhile after surgery. Most folks try the recliner and it does work for most folks. However, I found that after about a week or two, switching to the couch worked a little better. To use the couch, you’ll want to lay on your left side with your back and injured shoulder propped up against the back of the couch. I found that by doing that I would sleep longer and was much more comfortable.[/size][/#800000][/font]
