ctor, and the bandages are off for good. Meaning no more Glad Press-N-Seal before taking a shower. One picture is of Tom Hunt, Physician Assistant to Dr. Westerheide, removing the bandages (don't be distracted by my totally many physique). Overall, things look good and I'm totally amazed at all the work that was done through four very small incisions that are healing over nicely. He even mentioned some additional work they did that I didn't know about until today. Really incredible. 
Now, the other side of the coin is that I have to keep wearing the sling for another five weeks until my next check up to let the rotator cuff repair heal. So, still no driving until then, and then will come physical therapy to rebuild strength. The other picture is of my doctor, Ken Westerheide. A good man.
Oh, and I got my hair cut today.
Good on you for not putting off the operation. It is a fun bonus to find out they did additional work while they were in there!
ReplyDeleteDr. Westerheide is a dutch name. So they finally did something good:) apart from Rembrandt and van Gogh and Picasso. Oh no he's the Spanish guy with the six ears and 3 noses or something.
ReplyDeleteThe doc who supervised my hubby's hip operation was called (he also does shoulders) Dr. Westerik. How close can you get with names.
I'm discovering a pattern. Hub also lost the Press and seal after a week. Oh those showers. Then another 5 weeks in a surgical stocking and on crutches before physical therapy.
Trust me recuperation will go much faster than letting enough hair grow on to let your hair hang down in the near future. Well as long as you got your guitar (I don't recommend a pole but that's up to you:)
Have fun and wear the orange from time to time. Maybe the next time you see your doc.
