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.

Finally Got Some Sleep
Yesterday was a breaking point for me. I had a lot going on personally with my mother who is in a nursing home and that combined with my severe lack of sleep had me at the cusp of a mental / physical break down. By the time I got back from therapy last night I was a walking corpse. I took 2 Unisom and was passed out in my recliner before my wife went to bed a 10:00. She said she woke my up to say good night but I don't even remember that. I slept solidly until about 3am when I woke up long enough to look at the time and went back to sleep until 6am. So today I feel great! My only fear now is that I am rested it is going to start all over again tonight and last until I am to the point of total physical exhaustion again. Keeping my fingers crossed that this is not the case.
