Didn't know you were out. Hope all went well and hope you get back to 100% with no issues. Physical Therapy must be fun...

Glad to hear it Ryan Bravo.

Glad you are back. Hope you are back to 100 percent. I know how you must have felt. I'm out for at least 10 weeks due to an ankle that is broken in 3 places. I had emergency surgery and now I have 2 metal plates about 12 screws, and 2 titanium anchors in my ankle. I have to lay around with my foot elevated for the entire time. I'm only 3 weeks into it - and I'm losing my freaking mind! Well - I'm glad you're back. You do a lot of good work for people, and I'm sure you were sorely missed.

Ouch! I'm two months recovering from a class 3 sprain. Popped a few ligaments and loosened my achilles. Got a club foot like limp, but at least i'm moving around again. Doc says I may never walk normal again. I can't imagine what you're going to deal with.
Glad you are back in service. Was it rota tor cuff? A few years back I had mine done. It was on my bridge arm. I found that playing pool was the best therapy. All that stretching.
Good Luck My Friend, Jim

Best of Luck......Make Sure To Stretch Your Arm Continuously For Flexibility
Unless your surgery involved only partial tears, which only you and your surgeon would know,
then you are not even close to being healed yet but you are well on the road to recovery.
If muscles were repaired, the healing process is much more rapid.......especially when you are
under 50 years old. However, when tendons are involved, the process is much, much slower.
Just look at ball players with MCL and ACL repairs.......Tommy John surgery.....and of course,
the much dreaded rotator cuff repair.
Tendons do not have the same blood flow as a muscle so nutrients, glucose, medicines, etc. do
not reach and circulate like the situation with muscles. If you doubt that, cut a tendon during a
surgery versus cutting a muscle, the blood loss with a muscle is dramatic versus a cut tendon.
My point is serious surgeries usually take 7-9 months for recovery and a year is not uncommon.
And the older you become, the more extended the recovery time frame becomes and the odds of
a full recovery are staggeringly reduced.......2/3rds of full thickness rotator cuff tears fail within 2
yrs of surgery for men over the age of 55 years or put it this way....only 1 in 3 last longer than 2 yrs.
So the younger you are when you have surgery, the better the odds.......under 40, it looks pretty good.

p.s. I see my surgeon tomorrow for re-evaluation after my surgery on 2/3/16/
the 4th rotator cuff surgery to same shoulder since October 2011......this one
is now becoming questionable as the pain has returned.....play little pool now
and I am not optimistic at this moment........Anyway, the best of luck to you.
