powerwagonjohn Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Good luck with your sugery, I have had carple tunnel sugery in both hands and will need sholder work some day too. Life as a mechanic/guitar player and now working on a computor can really take its toll. We will all be thinking of you. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swleary Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hope it goes well for you Pete, surgery sucks but sometimes it's the best thing. Thank you Damian, yes the diabetes does cause soo many problems but it hasn't hurt me. Still waiting on approval for my insulin pump :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Congrats on your approval and good luck shoulders are tough to get back after you damage one, I had the tendons in my left shoulder severed many years ago and the shoulder has taken a beating over the years being dislocated anywhere from 2 to a dozen times in some years. It's kind of stapled together pretty well right now and doing alright but never feels very good. To make matters worse I've had three surgeries for carpal tunnel and had a radial nerve surgery on the right elbow so I know what scar tissue can do to a joint. take your time in rehab and listen to the Doctors and Therapists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete c Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 why is diabetes such a big deal with surgery? im glucose intolerant, borderline diabetic the docs make comments about it but dont seem to make a big deal about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swleary Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks for the advice Retro. Diabetes is a big deal when doing surgery because of the fasting involved. More at risk for going to into a low blood sugar during the surgery. It also makes it easier for infection afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete c Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 i never thought about the fasting, makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swleary Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Fasting is the hard part, every three months I have to fast for my blood work. I hate doing it but it has to be done. My big joke right now is, the surgery should be around November 15/2011. If I make it through it, I'll be back home around Nov.17/2011. If I don't make it home, funeral should be a Tim Hortons ( kinda like Starbucks), bring own lawn chair and sandwiches...I'm too cheap to provide that lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
