Calling Pelicans: Shoulder Surgery Recovery

Hey Guys,

So about 6 weeks ago, I had an accident and landed hard on my shoulder. Of course, I heard lots of popping and crunching when it happened, but with the adrenaline flowing, I put things back into place and was on my way.

It's been in constant pain, so I had x-rays done. There was a fracture on my collarbone, but in the 6 weeks since it happened, it had largely healed. I'm 33 years old.

However, after having an MRI done the other day, my ortho guy (shoulder specialist for the Colts and Pacers) determined that I should have it repaired surgically.

He said my bicep was torn, my labrum was torn and as a side note, there was a huge contusion on the top of my humerus, and I had bone spurs present (most likely from years of heavy lifting).

He said the labrum would be repaired, and he would cut the bicep to relieve pain and have it heal faster. also said he would take care of the bone spurs.

im having my surgery on a Friday...is it feasible that ill be ok enough to head back to work on Monday? I didn't ask him this....slipped my mind. I'm not digging ditches...I just have an office job.
