I wish I could be more help.
I helped my dad with his RC surgery - took him to the doc and to rehab. It seems like it was a couple of months before he was finished with everything, but it was confusing. My mom was a prescription painkiller addict and my dad was in the early stages of alzheimers. Dad seemed to me to be doing fine, but every time I would pick him up to take him for a follow up with the surgeon mom would remind him of how much pain he was in and to be sure and remember the darvoset. It wasn't until about the 3rd follow up that the doc said, "I'm not sure what's wrong, you shouldn't be in so much pain at this stage" that I put 2 and 2 together. I talked to the doc, he withheld the pain meds, and dad was fine. We went to 4 or 5 pt sessions and he was 100% normal. As I said, as I recall the whole thing took a couple of months (but I may be wrong).
I retired in July 2017. Had foot surgery in Jan 2018, again in Oct 18, again in Jan 19, then elbow surgery in March 19. Seems like I've been in recovery my whole retirement and I'm frustrated as hell.
Sorry to step on your thread. Good luck with the RC surgery, recover fast, and start enjoying your retirement! What do you have planned?
