Day three post-surgery.
Shoulder surgery is tough. It’s a painful recovery. Having made it through the first two days though, Judy is noticeably better today. Better enough to get out of the recliner and be restless a little. Better enough to go out for a walk around the neighborhood.
We’re led to believe that sleep, ice, and painkillers are the best medicines at this point. Whatever sleep Judy is not getting at night, she’s making up for as she naps herself through the day. We’ve got various gel-packs of ice to alternate on her shoulder. Sleep, ice, and painkillers. Narcotics are out because Judy doesn’t do well with them, so her painkiller of choice is Advil. Five more days to the follow-up with the doctor next Thursday. The bandages should come off and the stitches should come out. He’ll tell us then when we can start physical therapy.
