I am so glad this forum is working again!
I'm still feeling pretty good. I've been out of sling off and on today and am able to use my arm much more than I thought I would. I think my biggest problem is going to be the temptation to overuse the arm since it doesn't hurt like the dickens. Maybe I'm feeling so well in comparison with other people who've had their shoulders worked on because my problem was different and not rotator cuff related. I'm not complaining. I might just have a higher pain tolerance than I thought. When you have chronic pain, like I do, you start to feel like a baby when it comes to pain. Other people tend to view chronic pain patients like wimps, too. IDK. So far, so good.
Thanks again, everyone. You are a great bunch of people!
Linda, with some of the severe curves that affect the heart, what happens when they are straightened up? Does the heart keep its deformed shape or eventually return to normal? Does it end up leaking or develop other complications? I'm wondering if I can even be an organ donor if I die...???
