Wednesday's surgery went perfectly. The doctor said the tear was a little deeper than he'd expected, at about 90% thickness, but he got everything reattached. Four little holes, each with a cross of steri-strips. We took off the surgical dressing last night and it looks to be healing normally. Some nice bruising, though.

I hate narcotics for all the reasons you posted! Blech. I has forgotten about the itchy feeling. Horrible. Glad they oked the other meds and ibuprofen. Remember pain meds make you dehydrated. Drink more than normal. You don't want to end up on the ER like I did due to dehydration/constipation.

I am so glad the surgery went well. And that it is over!! Glad also that your hubby is with you and your cats are looking out for you. :) Hope for a fast recovery. Hugs gently.

Yeah, Norco now goes on the HELL NO list on account of the itching, which has happily now stopped. I didn't know pain meds could make you dehydrated. I haven't had any constipation, but I've been eating a few of what we call "dessert prunes" around here :)

Thanks <3 *hugs back with right arm*

Tags: hugs please?

I hope you recover quickly and feel well soon… But it doesn’t sound like hugs would be a good thing right now.

Hey, hugs are fine as long as they're on the right side. Thanks <3

Also? PERFECT icon choice. We've been saying that a lot lately.

You are a strong, strong lady! I wish you icy blizzard conditions for your shoulder. Let the winds of a york peppermint patty put you on top a mountain.

With my last breath, I curse Zoidburg!

*gentle hugs* Be careful with percs, they're strong. Remember you can always cut them in half or even quarters.

Thanks <3 I'm cutting back and it seems to be working out so far.
