Man, I consider myself so lucky. Since my problem was just a build up of scar tissue, I'm already out of the sling and using my arm. It's painful as hell, and physical therapy was damned brutal yesterday and will be for the next two weeks. I'm doing my exercises. This morning, I didn't even have to take a percocet--trying to get off those as quickly as possible, but I'll have to have one before the day is out. Anyway, I'm typing with two hands. Just damned lucky.
