Shoulder Surgery

Last Friday, Frank had surgery to repair a shoulder tear. I don't remember where exactly the tear was, just that it wasn't the rotator cuff (like his left shoulder had).

The surgery went well and we are now almost a week post op.

Frank was nervous about this surgery mostly because he has had shoulder surgery previously and remembers how bad recovery is.  But so far, this one is going much better. 

First it was a simpler repair, apparently. Meaning a shorter recovery, less pain and starting physical therapy sooner.

The pain has been significantly less!  This has been a really awesome surprise.

He is already doing some stuff (not really using the shoulder but he can use that hand, which was not the case for quite some time with his last surgery)

The only real "issue" has been that Frank is not a sit around and heal kind of guy. He is freaking ANTSY and wants to go do stuff.

I, on the other hand, have no problem sitting around and don't get bored doing so. I just keep reminding him that he is supposed to be healing and taking it easy.  He generally complies but he is getting crankier as the days go by.

I keep offering to take him to Dairy Queen for a dip cone but somehow that isn't the adventure he is hoping for.  If he had his way we'd probably be driving to Moab already and he'd be saying he can certainly go four-wheeling with only one hand on the wheel.  Heaven help me.
