This is a blog documenting my surgery and rehabilitation from a SLAP tear suffered in my left shoulder. The surgery took place on Thursday December 16th 2010 and the physical therapy appointments are expected to last 3-6 months and then another 6-9 months of home physical therapy. Total time from surgery to full recovery is about 1 year.

Surgery Delayed Until December 16th
I haven't posted anything in a while because all I have been doing was some pre surgery physical therapy. I received news yesterday that my surgery is being pushed back 8 days so it can be done at Silver Cross Hospital instead of the Oak Surgical Center. The reason is because I am over 250 lbs and there could be a possibility of complications with the anesthesia. How they didn't see this in my medical charts prior to my pre-admission phone call is beyond me and I am not happy about it because time was already taken off of work and plans were in place for people to watch our boys while I was in surgery. Now that all needs to be changed but it is all in the name of safety so I can't complain that much.
