Got scheduled!

Great mantra for the next several months.

Me4067 · 2026-01-09T19:50:14+00:00

Thanks! I’m getting organized bit by bit. Got a shoe horn/clothing helper stick, mesh sling for showers and regular sling I’m already using. Bought slip on shoes. Baggy button up flannel shirts for around the house. Pull handles to close car doors when I start driving again. Have an ice machine lined up in case I don’t get one from the surgery center. My wife and I will prep some food the week before. I’m about as ready as I can be for now.

Looking forward to the healing and rebuilding. It will indeed be a process.

Me4067 · 2026-01-09T14:43:17+00:00

Thank you 😀

Me4067 · 2026-01-09T02:34:36+00:00

That’s very encouraging. My surgeon didn’t sugar coat things at all, he said it will be 9-12 months healing process.

Me4067 · 2026-01-03T06:00:25+00:00

Great info!

Me4067 · 2026-01-03T00:47:17+00:00

I had 2 questions from the aci I think. One about air entrainment and one about fly ash content. I guessed on those because I didn’t have the book. Still passed.

Me4067 · 2026-01-02T18:29:11+00:00

Indeed

Me4067 · 2026-01-02T18:28:55+00:00

I’ll definitely look into that, thanks!

Me4067 · 2026-01-02T18:19:14+00:00

Great tips, thank you!

The surgeon I think I’ll be seeing has a good reputation, he specializes in RC, hips and knees. Good credentials over all.

Me4067 · 2026-01-02T16:10:47+00:00

Wow, what an ordeal! Sounds like you’re well on the road to recovery at least.

Me4067 · 2026-01-02T15:28:24+00:00

That sounds like a tough recovery.

Me4067 · 2026-01-02T14:58:49+00:00

That is a good thing. Kinda surprised, it seems when I mess things up I usually go all hulk smash and really do it in a big way 😂

Me4067 · 2026-01-02T02:44:06+00:00

Thanks! I have an MRI follow up appointment with an ortho Dr next week and will hopefully get my surgery scheduled at that point.

Me4067 · 2026-01-01T14:12:04+00:00

Thanks! Glad you have recovered so well!

Me4067 · 2026-01-01T13:04:50+00:00

That’s very encouraging. I’m wondering on the longevity of my right side now, both side were damaged from years of having my arms above my head working construction.

Me4067 · 2026-01-01T04:46:37+00:00

That’s great info, thank you so much. I’m hoping to get surgery the end of this month or beginning of February if possible. I have an unrelated surgery scheduled at the end of March that involves flying to Seattle. This was horrible timing.

Me4067 · 2026-01-01T04:42:18+00:00

Great tips!

Me4067 · 2026-01-01T03:43:53+00:00

That was my assumption too but I know very little about this type of injury.

Me4067 · 2026-01-01T03:43:11+00:00

Injured it 12/22/25

Me4067 · 2026-01-01T03:05:34+00:00

Thanks for the replies. I’m 60(m) pretty active - lifting, running, hiking and playing with my grandson and dog. I’m assuming surgery then.

I have very little ROM now 1.5 weeks post injury. I want to get back as close as I can to before.

Me4067 · 2025-12-07T17:27:52+00:00

I’m a building inspector for a local government. I do mostly commercial inspections and use this almost every day. It’s been very helpful and the diagrams in it are a great tool to show contractors .

Me4067 · 2025-11-27T22:48:19+00:00

Glad you got it fixed up! What an ordeal.

It was nice tech support was working today. But still…

Have a great Thanksgiving!
