Update

In theory, I should be having my surgery tomorrow, Friday 1/10. I should hear from a nurse at the surgical center today to go over the details and confirm medical intake data and then to sell them my soul via credit card.

The meds are helping. I can tell when they are wearing off. Mornings are the worst, because everything has worn off by then and sleeping has put pressure on that shoulder, no matter how I sleep.

I tried to do a couple of the arm components of my workout this morning, just to see. Strangely enough, I can still do 90% of my morning workout routine without pain. A couple moves I can't do at all and a couple others I have to adjust slightly. Head position seems to be the most defining aspect. As I mentioned, my left arm muscles have been spasming pretty non-stop, so doing the dumbells was mostly okay until I got to the push-ups (push straight up from shoulders to above the head). The left deltoid was not having anything of it and had no umph to push, but that's only because it's been running a marathon this whole time and probably doesn't need the extra workout.

So, to recap, sleep causes pain and workout is fine. Go figure.
