Made it through surgery! The Interscalene Nerve Block that kept my shoulder and arm numb for 24 hours has now worn off and I wonder if I had surgery or not because so far, the only sign of surgery is the bandages---no pain! I am keeping a diary of pill taking...it's probably the Percocet working wonders! The key is always taking the pain pills in a timely fashion..I took two when the nerve block started wearing off, and zero pain! If the rest goes this smoothly, I'm a happy camper! So for the next 5 days I am going to do absolutely nothing except watch tv and drink a ton of milk!! I already feel better than pre-surgery, but that again may be the drugs talking!
This is a link that describes more or less what Dr Amit did for me yesterday:
Fiberwire Fixation for Distal Clavicle Fracture.
Aside from healing concerns, I'm hoping my recovery is faster than what I heard coming out of surgery: 3 months! I feel like I can jump on the trainer today! Let's hope a) I heal fast , and b) 3 months meant I can get back into training sooner, but at 3 months my shoulder should be back to 100%.
