well yes essy, you can help... i need a sponge bath

fantasma62 · 08-18-2004, 03:21 PM

Hey Tank, happy to hear that the surgery went well. You seem to be a very motivated person, you will do well and will be back training hard in no time...

I am probably heading in that direction. I am not sure how it happened but I used to play softball and now I can't even throw a ball hard anymore because I get a shooting pain in my shoulder, oh, and when I reach to grab something on the floor, it feels like the shoulder is going to come off the socket. The only good thing is that I have not suffered any pain while lifting...I am praying that I get to lose the weight and gain muscle before my shoulder goes...

Well, enough about me....I'll keep you in my prayers.....

Tank316 · 08-20-2004, 07:10 AM

yesterday was a shocker....
1 st appont with doc who did surgery went great, he took out the pain catheder[sp]
1st therapy session all in all sucked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i cant believe how i cant do a thing, its like starting over. i can see why if you dont rehab this type of injury that you can go down hill really fast.
on a high note, I GOT TO TAKE A SHOWER!!!!!!!! yippee,also doc wants me to start riding stationary bike/stepper.cardio, gotta love it.
my meals are sorta the same.
if you read my past journal,,you'll know that i prepare 4-5-6 meals ahead.
oops, one other note, the doc told me yesterday that he took off a bone spur while he was in there!!!

PreMier · 08-20-2004, 03:39 PM

I have read some really nasty things about spurrs in the shoulder. Good thing he took it out.

I know with your drive, and dedication you will be back on top in no time
