The surgery for the shoulder went really well but the recovery was extremely difficult. I couldn't believe how much pain Mike was going through. It was unbearable for him and stressful to watch. He couldn't sleep or sit still for even a minute!! After a few days of misery, I couldn't take it anymore and I called the doctor crying and demanding we get a stronger medication. It worked, he was given Darvocet!! Yippee, now we can both rest....I gave him the dosage and watched him drift into la la land. Ahhhhhh!
After a couple of months he has finally been able to sleep for a full night in bed. His therapy sessions proved that he was a man to be reckoned with and that he was strong and could take it.....he was at 70% mobility. The only thing he can't do which is what he worried about from the VERY FIRST DAY, was being able to wipe...HA!
Okay, we had to get a treadmill!! 187 days of laying around causes havoc to the body and belly. We are both excited and ready to get in shape (Oh geez, I need a prayer)! We have stopped drinking alcohol and are eating healthy, which is a great start.
We will keep you posted on the progress..... I will not, however, show pictures or give out our weight :)
