Post-op update
Wow, six weeks since my surgery has finnaly arrived anf I can’t be more happy. I went back to my Ortho yesterday and was freed from my sling and I now can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This coming Monday will be the start of my physical therapy which will last 6 weeks. I am looking forward to seeing my range of motion and strength returning, which will help me return to the gym hopefully by November. This journey has been full up its ups and downs, mainly downs. Lack of sleep, pain, and the negativity recieved form my employer have at times made me wish that I never went through with it in the first place. But, luckily, thanks to my beautiful wife Tiffany and my strong upringing those thoughts were never taken at face value. I have for too long lived with this issue and decided enough was enough. Those that have or had a problem with my decision can respectfully kiss my ASS. My health and well-being out way all, plus had I not gotten the surgery my wife would have implanted her foot in my ass, so it was a win win situation.
So here we are, on the brink of therapy, eager with anticipation, and looking to what the future has in store. I want to thank those of you here on BodySpace for all of youe thoughts, prayers and wishes. They are very much appreciated. I also want to thank my Ortho surgeon, Sanford S. Kunkle, M.D and all of his staff at OrthoIndy for all of their care are expertiece. From the moment we walked in for my initial consultation to my post-op check up yesterday there friendly atmosphere and patient care were beyond my expectations. They are a cut above the rest, Top Notch in my book. So thank you all once again and I will be updating my progress as we go along for the rest of this ride.
As for now, I must get back to work. So take care, stay strong and have a great weekend.

I am glad that you are on the road to recovery…I feel your pain. I am hoping to get freed to starting working out again this next Tuesday. It has been about 6 weeks as well. Unfortunately, you have another 6 or so to go…don’t push to hard, you don’t want to have a set back! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers while you recover!
Also, would like to thank you for your service to this great country! God Bless, good luck and have a fantastic weekend.
