ace168516 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'll be out of the loop for awhile here...I fractured my shoulder and upper arm in 3 places on Sunday. I know it is not the worst thing ever on the forum...even currenty considering what others much more well respected forum members are going through. Thoughts and prayers would be welcomed though, as I work outside, and if I can not climb a utility pole, my income is pretty much gone. My orthopedic surgeon said a 50/50 chance of it healing properly on its own if not, I will not be able to use my left arm again. I chose the surgical "6 million dollar man" treatment, which will hurt more, be out of work for longer, but they gave me better odds of returning to work. Keep on rocking, and if you see persian nutwood or meatloaf cornwalls for sale not on here, my wife is always looking for an excuse to get rid of them...call me haha.

jhoak Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I want to see pictures of "meatloaf" Cornwalls. You can do that with your right hand... Right??? OK... Just kidding you. Take care, take your doctor's advice and most importantly take your time. Shoulder injuries quite often take a long time to fully recover from. Yea... Ask me how I know that. You're in my thoughts Ace. I know first hand what you're dealing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Ace, Hang in there, and go to physical therapy when the surgery is over. I was once told that I woudl never walk property again. The PT saved me (not that it worked for everyone, but it did work for me). Best wishes. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted April 3, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 3, 2012 Well said Dave [Y] Good luck Ace, hope it goes way better than expected. And you are one of the well respected people here, well don't let that go to your head, there are only a few troublemakers and being one of them I just wanted to say good luck to you and the wife. As far as I know there is no way to have to many prayers so you will get some extras. [Y] Idea, while you can, remove the back off the speakers and put about #100 pounds of rocks in each one so the wife can't move them.

Panacea Engineering Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ace, Sorry to hear about your injury and I wish you a Complete, NOT speedy, recovery. Please don't rush it for the sake of trying to get back to work sooner. If it was a work related injury, I may be able to offer you some valuable advice, as I just got through with a three and a half year battle, over Workers Compensation and finally prevailed..... Please PM me if you feel that I may be able to offer some help as there are many milestones that can hurt you in the long run. W. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ace168516 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Just wanted to thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. The surgery went well according to my surgeon...I will go above and beyond that and say I think he is a miracle worker. I am already off the prescription pain killers as the pain can be managed with some ibuprofen...36 hours after 2 plates and several pins installed in my shoulder, which makes me think he did a really good job. Even though I have enough narcotics to keep a horse down, I don't like taking them if I don't have too, and if I have no soreness, I would be tempted to do something stupid like move an amp or something, which we all know would be the worst thing to do. So, I wanted to say thanks to everyone for a successful phase 1, I can only hope recovery and rehab continue to go well in the coming months. I am really good at putting an album on with one arm and hand now too! Thanks, ACE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
