Hi Aspen, thanks for the response

Well. I made it through the first PT, it went quiet well, but tonight my shoulder really hurts bad and its all red too. Oh well, I have 3 times a week PT for the next month and then we see how I am doing. Wednesday the stitches will come out, I have three cuts, one big and 2 little. Its the first time I see my doc after the surgery too and it will be interesting to see what she has to say. my hubby said she snipped off alot of bone and that I have a very lose joint in the arm, she also said to him something about a fusion, when my hubby told me I was going like oh no, so I am not sure if it was a joke since she just did the fusion in my neck, so the visit should be interesting. I will let you know. So far they all told my hubby, "she will be hurting for a while", yeap, it hurts alot and my fingers are even swollen they look like little sausages hanging on my hand, and I do need alot of pain meds, does anybody know what the recovery time is for this type of surgery?? The onehanded business is a real challenge :P well lets hope that I will be able to use both hands soon again, thanks for listening, good night, Martina
