Don’t worry. Be happy. Don’t rush things. Do what your doctors tell you to do exactly.
You do what you need to do and we’ll do the praying on your behalf. You have an army behind you. Good luck.
I had a fractured radius repaired last fall. My experience was the surgery was the easy part. Be prepared for months of rehab before your arm is reasonably functioning. Work with your therapists and don't slack on the exercises. Good luck.
You will do fine.....its a big deal to you but for a medical procedure, fairly routine.....
You will be playing the piano in no time....even if you never played it before...:-)
Prayers for you with your surgery. I had one put in my femur 12 years ago and it has been fine.
The upside is the modern painkillers are wonderful :)
God Bless!
“I’m having a surgical procedure to put a rod in my humerus from the shoulder to elbow. “
You’ll be fine but sure, you got it. God’s on your side :)
BTW, are you sure it’s not a sex change haha just kidding XD
My experience from shattered humoral head two years ago, plate and ten screws, removal of plate and screws ten months later, third surgery two weeks after second to clean out hemorage:
1. Get off pain meds as quickly as possible.
2. Do physical therapy from the earliest possible time,
as aggressively as you can tolerate.
Prayers for you.
Throw it to the Lord, like a basketball. He wants us to do this. And then relax. He’s got it.
May he bless you with a peaceful night and morning and a successful surgery. My prayers are joined with the others.
Prayers for a successful operation and timely recovery.
*Prayer Warriors ping*
Ouch! And prayers for a successful procedure to correct the break you sustained in your fall!
Prayers sent
Our prayers. I’ve had similar surgery, it’s not that bad but painful at first. The pain management we now have will take care of that you’ll do fine.
Well I hope you feel better soon and you are in my prayers :)
Prayers up for a successful and uneventful surgery followed by a quick and complete recovery (and anything else y’all need!)
Prayers on the way..
God Bless..
I had some surgery this summer. Just remember, once they knock you out its all about waking up and moving through the steps of recovery. First few days are the worst ....make sure to keep ahead of the pain with the meds.
I had a big female surgery in which the aftermath is dealing with hormonal imbalance as well .... It’s been a tough summer! But I am better for it.
You’ll be fine, upchuck. We’re all pulling for you. See you back here on FR in short order. This will be a mere blip on your timeline. I was going to say “break a leg”; however, seeing as you already broke your arm, I’ll refrain, lol.
