Day 28
February 15th, 2009
Tomorrow marks 4 weeks since my shoulder surgery. I’ve basically abandoned the sling (except for sleeping) at this point. The problem with my elbow and forearm hurting because of using the sling has persisted. In fact, the pain has gotten worse. I’ve taken a couple of Percocets over the last couple of days due to the pain. This morning I woke up at 4 AM and couldn’t sleep because of the pain. I eventually got a few more hours of sleep — without the sling. I’m still sleeping on the couch because being on a bit of an incline still feels better, and also because I snore when sleeping on my back.
My next doctor appointment is in 2 1/2 weeks, so that should be around the time I start rehabbing.
