I am only a week out of surgery now. I went back to the doctor to have the stitches removed today. He told me that the bone spur was almost the size of a quarter, and that it had frayed the rotator cuff, but did not tear it full. He said the surgery went quite well and that the resting I had done before actually healed some of the damage.
He had me do some range of motion things for him and was quite pleased with what he saw. We started really small, but actually went much further than he thought we would. He said that my shoulder, bruising(or lack there of), pain level, and range of motion is close to what he usually sees at 3-5 weeks.
He has cleared me for swimming(not just wading) and I do not have to wear the sling, but he suggested I wear it when I am out as people tend to be a little more careful around people with a sling or cast.
I just have to remember....not to over do it now!
