My mom is doing really well, since all the PT. She knows I won't be able to do things, so she has already started doing things for herself mostly.

Except her meds, I still have to do that. Dirk is going to help out with the cleaning, cooking and laundry.

The surgeon said yesterday, I am getting a nerve block so I won't feel pain right away, but it will wear off at some point tomorrow. I don't start any type of PT for 4 wks. I have to use my right hand/arm to guide my left side like hand to mouth to keep it somewhat mobile..
All I will be doing is the arm swing in circles so it doesn't get stiff. I forgot to ask him when I can drive, but I imagine now at least 4 wks. It's arthoscopic, so I don't think it will be as bad as I thought. The percocet I take now for pain, is the same I will be taking after the surgery for pain.

I couldn't sleep last night, well I didn't take my meds till late, so now I am tired, my mom's PT is here now.

I want to get a lot accomplished today, I hope I get some pep. Which will put me in pain, but hey at this point, it won't matter.

I will be online tomorrow, since I am sure I will be up early, although I should sleep until I have to get ready to go, because I can't have anything to drink or eat. I have to be there at 11am, my surgery is at 12:30pm it takes about an hour and a half. I love my iced coffee in the morning, oh well. Maybe I can get a Dunkin Donuts one on the way home,,,,,there yummy.

So, be ready, I'll send a limo to pick you all up so you can come with me right in the OR too. LOL

Hugs, Nikko
