I work for an orthopedic surgeon and see rotator cuff repairs all the time..give yourself time to heal or you wont heal right and will require further treatment..just watch what you eat, and drink water..before you know it, you'll be back in business! just make you rest and don't push it!..good luck!..:)

My mom just had the surgery and the surgeon told her 6 weeks in the sling as well, but she was actually only in it for 2 weeks, until her physical therapy started. Perhaps you can take some nice long walks with your lovely wife. I'm sure you will feel better once your surgery is complete and you are on the mend. Take care and heal well.
