Friday Funnies

[sdhoosier]

Grandma and Grandpa were visiting their kids overnight .

When Grandpa found a bottle of Viagra in his son's medicine cabinet, he asked about using one of the pills.

The son said, "I don't think you should take one Dad, they're very strong and very expensive."

"How much?" asked Grandpa. "$10.00 a pill," answered the son.

"I don't care," said Grandpa, "I'd still like to try one, and before we leave in the morning, I'll put the money under the pillow.

" Later the next morning, the son found $110 under the pillow. He called Grandpa and said, "I told you each pill was $10, not $110.

"I know," said Grandpa. "The hundred is from Grandma!"




and a chick...

This will be my last Friday Funnies for a while. I have to have rotator cuff surgery next week and will be on the shelf for a few weeks. Anybody who has had this procedure, please do not tell me how much pain I will be in.

Sorry you still get a quick review of it. I had torn rotator cuff and torn labrum surgery on my left shoulder That was my second shoulder surgery as the first one was just torn labrum on my right shoulder. The surgeries weren’t that bad. Pain for a few days but it was having to do things differently after surgery was the worst. Sleeping is hard if you are a side sleeper. Completing tasks in the bathroom with the other hand was always an adventure. Showering is fun once you can do it. In other words just learning how to do things one armed/handed is the worst part. I’m not sure if it has changed but six weeks in a sling is not fun either. Hopefully it’s not your dominant side. I was 70 on the first surgery and 72 on the second. Then the rehab and it will be fine.

I second that for sure. Praying that yours will go well. We have a standing dinner date with another couple every week and they look forward to hearing your Friday Funnies. We will miss you.

Make sure you have a week's supply of comfort/convenience items close by (booze, porn, cured meats, cold ones, porn, takeout on speed dial, porn, prescription painkillers, porn...you know, the basics) and you will be just fine.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I'll be popping by to view your posts so be sure to post some chick's for me!

Thanks for the review on your surgery @bwcoach. That was encouraging as pain is what I'm most dreading...one video on line said a doc told him the 3 most painful medical procedures were 1 childbirth 2 kidney stones 3 shoulder surgery.

It is my dominant side but I think I can get used to wiping my ass with my left hand.

Thanks again for the well wishes

I wish you well, too. But wiping left handed is not the first thing I’d worry about. Gotta get ambidextrous real quick, my friend.

In all honesty I used one and a half hydrocodone or whatever it was called. I hate to use that crap so I used more Aleve than anything. I did sleep in a recliner for a few nights before I could get comfortable in bed. I did use a nice bourbon to keep my pain down. The rehab was more painful at times than immediately after surgery. They don’t take it easy on you. And it takes six to nine months before it gets close to normal. And All4You is giving some good advice. My doctor also told me the same thing about pain levels but I’ve had worse. Do what they tell you and you’ll be fine and looking forward to your return.

I don't think I need to do more yoga (unless her name is Yoga!), I just think I need to watch her doing yoga. I feel something stretching already!

Best of luck, sd! Lots of good advice in this thread.

Friday will be a year since I had rotator cuff surgery and torn labrum repair. And I'm just now getting my grip back . . . had to open Gatorade bottles with channel locks. And no weight on the shoulder/arm/hand for a good long while. 5 procedures plus the arthroscopy: (1) extensive labral debridement (2) rotator cuff repair with Regeneten collagen implant augmentation, (3) Mumford procedure, (4) biceps tendonesis and (5) subcromial decompression. I'm gonna guess yours is going to be arthroscopic, too.

Do everything they tell you to do, when they tell you to do it and you'll be fine. Including at physical therapy, and at home. No, the PT or the assistant isn't Josef Mengele's grand nephew or grand niece . . . and they aren't sadists. They're just trying to get the most range of motion that they think is there. That said I don't think I'll ever get my knee replaced, after what I saw a PT doing to an 80-year-old man.

I worked PT for 4 months, and then got my release. A guy I saw after my surgery was back at work the next week. Drove his truck to work. SMH . . . .

The worst part for me was sleeping upright in a recliner for 10 weeks. That and wearing, taking off and putting on my brace for a shower: https://www.healthproductsforyou.com/p-donjoy-ultrasling-quadrant-shoulder-brace.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=surfaces&utm_campaign=shopping feed&utm_content=free google shopping clicks&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpsa-l6ui_gIVUS6zAB1KTAbuEAQYAyABEgIbPPD_BwE
Percosets helped with the pain . . . had to eat donuts to keep them from upsetting my stomach . . . weaned off of the percosets after three weeks . . . unfortunately, I'm still eating the donuts though.

Sleeping upright had an unexpected result: my balance was off. Kept falling, mostly forward. I deny that the donuts had anything to do with the balance issues.

Good luck to you!
