Hope you're not having steak for breakfast. Here's a meaty pick from last Tuesday's surgery. On the left you have the posterior aspect of the right shoulder with the stump of the detached lat tendon being pulled out. This was reattached onto the front of the right arm up high under the upper portion of the bicep. The screws shown in the X-ray on the right have sutures attached to them and the sutures were sewn into the tendon stump and then used to tighten the tendon back onto the bone. Eventually the bone will reintegrate with the tendon and the suture anchors will just be in there, but not functioning in terms of providing tensile strength.
Recovery is going to be long, but should be 100%. Documented cases have had athletes back to full performance without pain or limitation as fast as 5 months post surgery. I promise I won't be in a hurry to be back that fast, but I do feel confident that I will make a full recovery in time. Although it's a way's out, I can't tell you how much I look forward to doing my first pull up and eventally my first muscle up post surgery.
Thanks to all of you for your comments, texts, cards and various froms of support that over the last week. I am sure you will all be reminding me to keep my arm in the sling and asking "are you supposed to be doing that?" over the next few months. Please do, but keep in mind, nobody wants this thing to go well as much as I do. So I'll be taking care.
