Way to hang in there. Here's hoping that the MRI comes back clean.
KG, I'm on your page now, and agree with your observations. In my case, only the supraspinatus ligament was to be repaired, so a sling was to immobilize my right elbow at my side for 6-8 wks, but with the ability to use my right hand. It was a shock to find out that my right arm was actually propped up and immobilized at 45 degrees out from my right side. Sleeping was difficult, much less seeing to the personal care needs. No one prepared me for the disabling nature of it, but then I'm not sure it would have made much of a difference.
