Reply to "Labrum (SLAP) tear surgery tomorrow"

Surgery complete- recovery day 1
The surgery is complete and according to the doctor it went well. He advised that the tear wasn’t a large as he initially thought and that other than the tear everything else in his shoulder was in good shape.
Seeing him come of surgery completely out of it, with his Cryocuff and sling lying there motionless was something I wasn’t prepared for. We got home and into bed and he did well. The numbed the nerves going into his shoulder prior to the surgery and he has no pain as of yet.
Plan for the weekend. Lot so rest and constant use of the Cryocuff. Has his first physical therapy session Tuesday. He will be in his sling for the next 4 weeks except during his therapy.

Lets see how he does once the pain starts to kick in a bit.
