He's back!

dd

Yep, Jeweler Jim is back from his shoulder surgery. Seems to be doing well, but ornery as ever. They've got him on the goofy juice so he's not feeling much. Will probably be a few months before he's able to shoot again but he'll be back on the firing line as soon as he can.<br />

Hopefully that's one less thing to be bothered by.<br />
<br />
He should be a kinder, gentler JJ now.<br />

Thanks for the kind thoughts and wishes.<br />
<br />
As you can see by the hour of this post the "block" that they put in the shoulder has worn off. So now it's down to just the pills. It's still much better than the last time I had this done. Didn't sleep for three days that time, but I might just get in a nap after I take the next pain meds at 1AM. <br />
<br />
Should be good enough to take everybody's money at the check in for our next shoot, but beyond that I don't think I'll be doing much. Apparently it was messed up bad enough to keep the sturgeon at it for two hours rather than the normal half hour to an hour that they spend doing the job. I wonder if I'll get charged extra for the additional time he spent digging around in the shoulder?

Bobby Twoboar

Who knows, they might charge your time on the table by the minute like a taxi meter. The main thing (besides the consideration of if you've got good doctors/surgeons and insurance) is that everything went well and as expected and that you're already on the mend. Hope that process is speedy for you and allows you to rapidly get back to "normal" - whatever that may be in your case. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':crazy:' /> <br />

All the best.

I had that block when they fixed my shoulder. I felt like I was ready to go home. <br />
<br />
Then, some time around midnight, it wore off...

Boredom is not the emotion you expect after this surgery. Just wish I could get in the shower cause I'm starting to smell like a goat.

There's this sticky stuff called Tegaderm that you can buy at those hospital supply stores. It's a clear film that ya sticks right over yer wound, or yer sutures, or whatever ya got. Keeps the water out real nice like, and peels off clean without no pain. Add a loofa on a stick and ya can even get places where tha sun don't shine too often.. I started showering the day after my surgery...

Thanks Steve, I was gonna try the plastic food wrap and some of that clear packaging tape, but I'll send the wife out for some of the stuff you're talking about on Monday. She's already complaining that I'm getting a little ripe. <br />
<br />
By the way DD where did you hide the cameras to get my picture? Be glad you don't have smell-a-vision. And don't my blue eyes look pretty in the picture?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery JJ and hope to see you soon. Well not that soon, I'll have my operation on June 2nd.
