On 9/5/2012, I went in to the hospital and had shoulder surgery. The operational goal was to scrape 8 mm of bone off the clavicle bone to the left of the right AC joint, and then root around to see if anything else needed repair. Thankfully, the bone scrape was all I needed. However, after surgery, in my anesthitcally-diluted state of mind, I apparently denied any pain control, and may have said some not very nice things to some nurses (that's what I was told, anyway, for which I profusely apologized...). So after an hour of delirious pain, my wife was allowed to come back to the room, at which point pain meds began being dispersed. I'll say this, morphine is BAAAAAD! I got so far behind on the pain that I had to stay a few days in the hospital, halucinating and throwing up thanks to the lovely pain medication.

But, I did make it home, and boy, was I in pain. I took the crappy percoset they sent home for a few days, and then switched to Tylenol and Ibuprofen so I could keep a clearer head. On 9/11/2012, I started rehab...oh, joy!
