Reply to "Catchers and labrum repair"

So, now the surgery is done....now what?
Successful repair of throwing arm SLAP tear with several anchors, arthroscopic approach.
Pain substantial for first 3 days, now down a lot. Returned to classes today and learning to be "left handed"!
Rehab to begin shortly.
Adjustment to unilateral functioning going to be a challenge but proud of son who is adapting quickly. When pain is diminished, expect it will be even better functioning.
6 weeks in splint, 2 weeks not bathing!
Of course....had to show up at practice last week at least once (1 day post-op) to make sure his teammates knew he was still with them! That didn't last long as exhaustion and pain still there.
Now the long healing and rehab road begins.
Stay tuned for that process.
STRETCH.....STRETCH.....STRETCH...is all I can remind you catchers.
