Rotator Cuff Surgery

The doc said it was a clean tear of the muscle. He put stitches in it. Hubby had also pulled a tendon off of the bone (tendon for bicep) and the doc sewed that back to the bone.

I don't know if this doctor is overly confident in his sewing abilities, or what. Hubs has not had to wear the sling all day for a couple of weeks, now. He is not using the arm much (keeps it tucked close to his body) but he does button his Levi's and do small things like that.

He can also cross his arms over his chest. So he must have had something different from what you did, foot. I reckon each case is different.
