Post OP;

Typing with one hand is very difficult at first, as is doing anything at the present moment! The operation was about two hours and i am in a sling, this time for a minimum of two weeks. This operation was a combination of fixing muscle and tendon so the rehab will be a bit more involved and the healing time will be extended as well. Dr. Chen at edison metuchen orthapedic associates also did my torn biceps tendon in 2007, so he was not surprised to see my dumb ass again! The pain is no where near the same as when i had my rotator cuff operated on in 2009, just a lot of soreness and aching, but very manageable. The hardest part for me will be staying home and doing nothing for the next twelve days, then i go to have the stitches removed and hopefully, i can start doing some cardio again. As for now i will take many,many walks around the block with my wife and busy myself with whatever i can to stop insanity from fully setting in!
