So finally Thursday May 07, 2009.. was the big day.... that was when my right shoulder was operated on... I was awfully cool until and after the surgery from what my colleagues at work described + the docs and nurses at the hospital... actually i can confirm that since they kept checking my BP every once in a while and it was never super high.... I had requested for a later in the day operation so my roomie wouldn't have to take off but the doc had other plans - to finish of mine very first thing in the morning.. well he thought it was going to be simple... but i guess not... the operation went on prob for 2.5 hours and as usual i was knocked out for a bit longer on anasthesia after that... so i was in by 7 and out by 1 I guess... my right hand was numb for almost 12 hours after the surgery... slowly it started getting back its senses..
what should have been just 2 incisions on my shoulder ended up being 5... oops!! i guess thats the intensity with which i had messed up my shoulder... i faintly remember the doc showing me pics and saying i had messed up my bicep muscles too and he had to fix them too... oh well.. if i messed up, i better mess up big time rt!! and thats what i did... messed it up playing volleyball.. followed it with extreme weights... then back to playing... add to that no protein or mass... there you go.. perfect disaster recipe..
So finally here i am struggling to type with both hands.. although recovering pretty fast from my standards.. just experiencing pain at night.. am off for the day and hopefully get back to work from tomorrow.. getting used to do everything using my left hand... its actually not all that bad.. i improvise quickly... so now have 4 months to go before my arm regains most of its strength if not all..
but the verdict remains.... will know on thursday when i meet with the doc to know what exactly he did and what i did to my arm and what i can and cannot do..... tensed......
was the hurray too premature ?? we will see..

Congrats kaNo. Get ready to play tennis again. I want to see if you can beat me.
I think you have a double-handed back-hand and you need your left shoulder in good health as well. I think our match can wait till that is also sorted out!
I indeed play double handed back hand. I am realizing my left hand is in better shape since that's what I have been using ever since I got my surgery done.. of course will know in due course when I get back to toning my body to get back into shape..
