At the hospital
-
I don't know much about shoulder surgeries, except for one friend who had work done on his but didn't have any kind of replacement. He rented the machine that exercises the joint so he could do more focused therapy at home. It worked out really well for him.
Best wishes to MrsTuner! Does her surgery require an overnight hospital stay, or will she be home today?

The block has worn off so she is feeling sore and achy. Keeping it cool almost 24 hours with an Iceman. Good to have use of her arm/hand again. Just hanging out today - maybe get out for a short walk tomorrow? Ok to take off the sling inside, but supposed to wear it when going out. Followup visit in a couple of weeks before starting PT.

Best wishes for a quick recovery for her! I also didn’t know this was a thing!

Hope she recovers quickly!

We have 2 ice machines now - one was from a couple of years ago. Both the same unit, so I can load them both and she can swap as needed when I am gone for a while. Improving each day, but still swelling in the arm and lots of bruising that should start fading. She's doing more each day, so that's good!
