Shoulder Reconstructions 19-Dec-2007 At 4:01:26 PM b1rchy999

Hey,

I am currently typing one handed and it is bloody hard.

Had mine done on 11 Dec.

I'm in Sydney, I had Doctor Sher from Concord Orthosports do mine, he is also in Rankwick and Macquarie St, the City.

To put it bluntly he is awesome, full open stabilisation and pain was a max 4/10, not nearly as bad as everyone was making out. The shoulder feels like new i can already, even without movement feel that it is a lot stronger.

I was in hospital over night and was a little groggy getting up but apart from that and you don't sleep to much on the first couple of nights, its good.

3 options: Full Private $8000. Private patient / public hospital $4000. Full public $0

Don't go full public you'll have a trainee do it and prob more pain.

A partner is good to have for sponge baths and help otherwise it could be difficult.

Otherwise it is all good.
