Tuesday I finally took the step and got surgery for my SLAP tear in my left shoulder. The past week has been a little spacey with lots of sleeping throughout the day to recover.
Here is a brief day by day review
Tuesday- By the time Tuesday came around I was beyond ready to get this over with. The doctor said that the surgery went better than expected and they were able to do everything they needed to do through the scope which is nice to help keep the scaring to a minimum.
Wednesday- The nerve block was finally wearing off so i was actually starting to feel pain, however I did end up sleeping for most of the day because the pain killers and I were not getting along.
Thursday- This was the first day of the week where I felt back alert and more like myself. I even threw my fitbit to see how many steps I got in during the day, my goal was 1000, and I got pretty close.
Friday (Today)- Today is the first day I don't have to ice constantly so I am able to move around a bit more. I was able to take off the bandage and see the 3 scars healing on my shoulder. I have gotten up to 2,000 steps and went out and saw my chiropractor to get some acupuncture done.
So today I have started to feel more human again and get back to a routine. I am hitting my goals of getting more steps in each day and being slightly more active each day. I have made sure to keep my diet in check as to not overeat junkfood but also to make myself eat when the painkillers don't let me have an appetite.
I'll be back in a few days with hopefully more energy!
