Update on Mrs JJ

Hello everyone - Mrs JJ (Sue) here
Just wanted to thank everyone for your kind words and prayers. It has been 3 wks since my shoulder surgery to repair rotator cuff tear, remove large bone spur and also repair torn bicep tendon - I started physical therapy immediately at home with Gary's help and then started going to Brad Johnson Physical Therapy 3 times a week starting one wk after surgery. So far I have had 7 sessions of physical therapy and it hasn't been as bad as I had prepared myself for ( I had been told it is the most painful rehabs) Today Brad told me I am doing very well and he expects an excellent outcome. I return to my surgeon on Feb 5 and I expect he will prescribe more physical therapy for strength at that point. I am still wearing my sling 99% of the time - including sleeping in it which is not a lot of fun but that is what they have told me to do and I don't want to mess this up - as it is I fell on the ice just a wk after surgery - just after my surgeon cautioned me to be careful and not to fall - fortunately I didn't do any damage and it seems to be improving every day. Gary has done an amazing job taking care of me - cooking all the meals and seeing to all my needs. I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through it without him!!

Hope to see everyone on the water soon! and Thanks Again!!

glad to hear you are mending well, with your talent you can hold them 10'ers with your toes and never miss a beat, and you tough as hell if you eating Gary's cooking........I didn't know he even knew how to build a fire........

Glad to hear Sue .Did you do this pulling on all those crappie ?

Sounds like everything is going good. Glad to hear that. Respect given to Gary for stepping up when needed. Way to go. Get better quick Sue.

Great to hear good news. Hope your out on the water in the spring.

I am glad to hear your rehab is going well. My wife had a very similar surgery last June. She is doing great now. Best wishes on a great recovery.

Very nice to hear Sue, glad everything is going well,and a big cudos to gary for well being Gary and stepping up you will be jerking them big ole crappie before to long. peace

great news sue hope you can keep gary in line

Glad to hear you are progressing well...Kudos to the old man for stepping up:highfive

Good to hear you are progressing well, Sue....try to push yourself on your range of motion during the PT. You can do the strength training the rest of your life, but you only have a certain window of time after surgery to get as much motion as you can. Does Gary wear a cute little apron with ruffles and stuff when he's cooking? If so, we will pay for photos!!:biggrin

Great news for sure! Keep getting better, looking forward to seeing you all out on the water.

Glad its all went well other than the spill on the ice. Keep up with doing all the PT and exercises they have you do. It really helps in the long run. I see now that it's Gary's plan to come up to Mallard's next week so he can get out of cooking for a night.

Glad to hear good report! You will be back out there out catching Gary in no time. :Rofl

Glad to hear you are doing well Sue! Im not real sure I would eat his cooking! Hope to see you guys on the water soon if old man winter would GET LOST!
