Syzygies Posted August 4, 2023 Report Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Take good care of yourself in recovery! You'll need a good story to tell people. Like, you were visiting an elephant preserve, and the vets offered to let you try ... Edited August 4, 2023 by Syzygies 1 Quote

MacKenzie Posted August 5, 2023 Report Posted August 5, 2023 Dennis, you will be back to flipping those tomahawk steaks in no time. Quote
braindoc Posted August 6, 2023 Report Posted August 6, 2023 Sorry to hear this. Pay attention to your rehab team. This is not my field but I’ve had several patients who decided to do too much too soon and reinjured their shoulders. 1 Quote
C6Bill Posted August 7, 2023 Report Posted August 7, 2023 looks like you'll have to be spinning your BBQ for awhile, get well soon !!!! Quote
Cheesehead_Griller Posted August 7, 2023 Report Posted August 7, 2023 Best of luck Dennis! Godspeed in your recovery! Quote
jeffshoaf Posted August 7, 2023 Report Posted August 7, 2023 I didn't realize you pitched.... I'm hoping you have a successful surgery and which recovery! Quote
BalconySmoken Posted August 9, 2023 Report Posted August 9, 2023 Rest up Dennis - hope you are back together quickly Quote
Troble Posted August 9, 2023 Report Posted August 9, 2023 Sorry to hear that Dennis. My father and mother in law both had the same thing and I tore mine but didn’t need surgery. Acupuncture helped all of us recover faster once the wound healed to get blood flowing to that area. Quote
BARDSLJR Posted August 11, 2023 Report Posted August 11, 2023 Dennis, so sorry to hear about the shoulder (I am a tennis player and am around a lot of rotator cuff patients). That particular injury usually has, I'm afraid, a pretty extended recovery and rehab period. The only wisdom I can pass along from my friends is hit the rehab hard and really work it in the early stages, do everything they tell you to do, and don't get behind in your pain medications. 1 Quote
Poochie Posted August 11, 2023 Report Posted August 11, 2023 Good luck, Dennis. I hope there's zero pain involved in the surgery. Quote
tony b Posted August 13, 2023 Report Posted August 13, 2023 @Poochie - it's called DRUGS! Don't get the wimpy Tylenol IIIs, go for the "good stuff" with hydrocodone. Quote
Dono Posted August 15, 2023 Report Posted August 15, 2023 Dennis, prayers for doctors wisdom and a speedy recovery. Quote
