Feb 23rd @ 9:30am I find out if there is anything that can be done to fix my shoulder. Left one specifically for now. The right shoulder is next on the agenda.
I have been living the last 2 years or so with my arms by my side, unable to participate in anything that might require any extended shoulder rotation. Can't swim, so the pool at home is useless. No baseball... can't reach out to catch the ball and especially no hockey because I can't rotate my shoulders to take a slapshot and any sort of physical contact as it makes the shoulder go 'dead' so to speak.
Most would shy away from surgery, but I'm 100% pro-surgery!
I've taken that route on my knee twice and feel better having done so, otherwise I'd be even more of a cripple than I am already.
Here's hoping he says 'surgery' because I've already warned the Doctor that I wouldn't accept any answer that would require me to just live with it because it is inoperable.
....and especially now with an already crushed heart, I'm in no mood to accept bullshit answers from anybody that can cause me further pain
