Great to hear it Nando!
I hope you have a speedy recovery. Get some food, relax, get caught up on some good reading, watch some movies. Don't wait to long to move it around a little. Start small and slow.
All the best!

Good to hear.
Don't go bumping it against the wall accidentally, you will soon find it isn't so numb! :sad:

Had a bad time to sleep... my arm is over my stomach and couldn't breath properly laied, had to go to sofa and be half sit, half laied...
The shoulder isn't with big pain by now, but the medicine haven't gone 100%... It's really cr@p have only the lefty arm, to eat, shower, etc... :sad:
But the most interesting is that the shoulder feels "right" now, even I kinda of feeling the Chanell Tunnel to my bone... Think it'll be great when recovered!

I'd be less worried about the arm being numb then when it is suddenly not numb. Glad it went well, and who knows maybe you'll find out you have some kind of super ninja shoulder now and you can learn new guitar tricks to put Mayfly to shame.

By now I can't move my arm more than 2-3cm ( 1" ) and therefore, can't have a good shower, so more crazy pirate than super ninja for a while :laughing7:

I agree with Hannaugh, though it pains me to admit.
Nando, at least you can fret the guitar! Hire a monkey to do your picking, or glue a pick to... something else.
Get better soon!

So, after 5 months after the surgery, I still have pain and can't make all movements of the arm... Went on doctor today and probably I've a fibrosis on the ligament and will have to do another surgery... Will make a MRI next 22th... Lets see...

Well, that sucks. As you already know, the surgery isn't the tough part, although it sounds like it to people who've never had it. It's the sadistic prep before surgery, then the laying around the hospital afterwards with nothing to do but watch crappy TV that'll drive you nuts. That, and the inane physical therapists who'll have you doing all sorts of seemingly silly things in order to bring function back. But, as silly as the exercises seem, it's critically important that you do what they say. Also, that you do no more in an effort to speed things up. They've come to know what will work and what won't through long experience, so it's worth following instruction.
It's curious that you have to wait so long for an MRI. Here, if they decide you need one, you have it a half-hour later. Hopefully, now that we've had ObamaCare jammed down our throats, it won't be long before we'll be able to wait weeks or months to get critical tests done and we'll have the opportunity to die before they have to spend any time on us <grin>
