HI!

I'm currently in the 1st stage of Rotator Cuff Surgery recovery. It will last all summer (2nd stage occurs after receiving the bills).
 
To make things worse, this has been the hottest summer I can remember in a long time. In the 80s for the past 2 weeks while I'm laid up inside recovering.
 
I'm spending the next 2 days transferring all My Documents files (300 GB worth) to another HDD so I can reformat it and get rid of a suddenly huge corrupted space residing there... These new HDDs seem to corrupt a lot easier than the old ones.
 
This strategy may be pointless as the very files I'm moving may be the ones corrupted.
 
Whatter yu dooin this summer?
 
 

I, too, have some medical stuff to deal with.  I'll get out and out, but I'll probably stay close to home.  I wish you a speedy and complete recovery on both stages of your treatment.  Good luck with the files, too.  

When I blew out my rotator cuff I only had a weak HMO so it never got fixed.  After asking me if I was a professional athelete (*Pfft* If I was, do you think I'd have such crappy medical insurance???), they literally told me to stop whatever I was doing that caused or would aggravate the problem and sent me to physical therapy for a few sessions.
 
That was the end of all sporting endeavors for me so now I just sit on my butt and watch my six-pack abs turn into a pony keg.

Y'all have to come tai chi with me..   I was just looking at my abs and thinking, "yep, good."

Good luck with the surgery/recovery. With a bit of physical therapy, you should be back to normal pretty soon. I've been through quite a few sports injury surgeries (torn ligaments (both ankles), torn ACL, multiple fractures etc....) and it was the physical therapy/excerising that helped my recovery to be much smoother.
 
I'm building my new gaming/DAW tonight (once the the UPS man brings in the rest of the components) and will be tinkering with that for quite some time. :)) BTW, it's in the mid 90's here in Orlando and very, very humid, but I guess that's normal here.....
 
Good luck!!
 
 
 

At least you're not stuck down in a hole.  With an owl.

Soens, good luck on the recovery. I've been thru 5 shoulder surgeries and as was mentioned in the thread,
Hit the physical therapy hard. You will never regret the work you put into the recovery.
Btw, there is no more painful PT than for the shoulder....
So at least now you have that to look forward to during the hot Summer... Ha
Things start to really get a LOT better after 90 days.
Give it an entire year to get back to 'normal' tho.

Hang in there.

Thanks. Good to know I need to keep up the pain threshold. I'm so wanting to just lay around and let it rest. Can't do that I know. Gotta keep exercising the rest of the body too. "Get out and play every day!" What's great is I can do some PT while using Sonar which is also good therapy too...

Absolutely right man. The physical pain will bring down your mental game so enveloping yourself in Sonar should help. Distraction if nothing else.

Keep stretching Soens...
It hurts so good.
