Ok just a short one to update my meeting with the specialist today.
First thing I learnt is never believe your local doctor as they know fuck all. First they tell me I have just sprained my shoulder then after they get the ultrasound report they say I have just torn the covering around the tendon and it will heal itself.
Well I call bullshit!!!!
Seems I have put a full thickness tear in the tendon of my right shoulder and was informed it wont heal by itself and will require surgery. So booked in for the 25th of this month which is cool as it is nice and quick. Unfortunately the killer is I will have my arm in a sling for a fucking month and will be off work for at least 4 to 6. He said it may take up to a year before it is as good as it will get.
I am stressing out a bit at the moment about what the hell I am going to do now. My insurance will run for 13 weeks max but it is only a pittance really which will mean my wife will need to increase her shifts. But what about the operation she needs?
So tempted to cancel and just live with it but he said if it isn't fixed now it may not be able to be fixed later without a lot more invasive surgery.
Too many things to think about at the moment, will let you all know what happens next when I do.
on a side note anyone need a one armed old fart to work for them?
Jack :(
