    Sleeping any better? That was my biggest problem, it’s the reason I was chewing through time release opioids to knock me out and keep me out. Started PT, couple sessions in, active ROM now. Couple days short of 8 weeks post op, my overhead ROM is virtually unrestricted, “fascinating” progress as...

    How you feeling, bro? I started PT yesterday. Can’t lift anything with this arm for 12 more weeks, I’m told, which puts me at early May. Good stuff.

    Lifting music- what you got?

    Here’s one I never see on anyone’s list, probably a little too melodic…Sevendust. Also, killswitch engage(howard Jones). Some newer stuff I’ve come across, august burns red and parkway drive. Of course, the obligatory slipknot, etc.

    6 week post op visit, can do 1 active ROM movement, start PT next week. I was told I’m well ahead of where I should be or where the surgeon thought I would be. So, some of this shit is working. Unfortunately, there’s so much shit, I have no idea what. Surgeon also said he’s never seen a tear...

    Didn’t matter how much I dosed. Was dosing at night, in the absence of insulin, did nothing. If they made a GH that allowed me to sleep on my back, that would probably work 😉

    GH at close to that dosage did fuck all for sleep, for me, anyway, scroll up, my insomniac journal. @Kicksave sling off tomorrow, god willing. PT next week.

    I couldn’t start passive ROM for 2 weeks. So, you’re out in front of me by a nice stretch. You have lumbar issues as well? I do(microdiskectomy) which has made sleeping that much more difficult, I wake up more from back pain than shoulder laying on my back.

    Shit, PT a week later? Sign me up for THAT surgery. Getting my “good” shoulder looked at next week when I get this sling off, surgeon thinks that may be torn as well. Hopefully can mitigate that via Bi lateral PT, which starts in 2 weeks.

    Broken Needle in Leg

    You guys have to lose the 1.5” pins, I used them for years, they’re stupid, no reason to go more than 1”. 1/2 or 5/8” on delts, unless you’re morbidly obese, in which case you have no business using to begin with. 1” is plenty for glutes, quads(please stop pinning quads, especially with the 1.5”...

    Broken Needle in Leg

    I’ve blown off a couple 27g needles with test suspension. 1.5” is too long for that, I’ve found(you, too, it seems), 25g 1” work perfectly fine for it along with a 1ML syringe.

    NPP I pin EOD, the peptides twice a day, usually upon waking and before bed. I pinned the peptides sub q wherever I was able until I got the dressing off. Then I let my wife pin it once and she slammed it into my delt…douche. One and only time for that.

    Good luck, friend. Check in tomorrow, let us know how it went. As I was informed ex post facto, double up on the opioids in preparation for the nerve block wearing off.

    Still not sleeping well, but, not feeling as shitty, at least. Took 10mg melatonin last night, slept 3.5 hours…good stuff. Spent the rest of today with random bouts of narcolepsy in between squeezing my cardio in. Less than 2 weeks left with this goddam sling on at least. You get a date yet?
