Okay, let's get something out there right now...shoulder surgery HURTS!!! Maybe I'm naive, but I expected to be able to sleep in my own bed and function normally after the narcotics wore off. This is not the case (as I sit here typing with one hand because I can't take off the sling yet).

I tried knitting yesterday. It wasn't that hard with my circular needle. I figured if I stopped when it started hurting I'd be okay. Problem was, it didn't stop hurting. My husband has been making me ice all day today (as much as is safe anyway).

So, I've learned my lesson - sit on the couch with an ice pack and the remote. I just feel like I'm wasting valuable time doing nothing!!! Dr.'s visit isn't until Tuesday - I'm sure I'll live until then.
