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.

Excellent blog, I am looking at an april or may surgery, just wondering what you do for work and when you might be able to get back?

ReplyDeleteThanks! I am a Project Manager and I am lucky enough to be able to do my job remotely so I was working from home the day after surgery. Mostly just answering some phone calls and typing e-mails 1 handed. If you have an office job that requires you to drive there then they say you can't drive until you get the immobilizer off which for me was 5 weeks. If it is a job that requires you to physically use your arm then that is going to be up to your doc.
If you have any other questions please feel free to let me know. Good luck with the surgery. It will be worth it in the long run.
