Today I am having surgery on my shoulder.*
This is to repair the damage to the Rotator Cuff from when I had my accident.
*
When I fell, I dislocated the shoulder, broke the Humerus (the upper section near the shoulder) and had a complete Rotator Cuff Tear.
*
I have been going to physiotherapy for months and using a TENS unit daily.
*
I also have been taking a narcotic to help deal with the pain but I still have limited range of motion in the arm and do not want to rely on drugs as a pain reliever forever.
*
My orthopaedic surgeon has told me that he can not guarantee 100% full range of motion for the arm but that he will give me back quality of life; that is, no more or limited pain.
*
Sounds good enough for me.
*
So my blogging friends I will be out of commission for a few days, but with the magic of Blogger I have pre-posted my ABC Wednesday post.
*
How could I miss the start of round three at Mrs. Nesbitt's place.

Bear((( )))

I'm thinking about you and wish you a speedy, pain-free recovery. I hope you have someone to wait on you hand and foot. Take advantage of that....the opportunities to have someone take care of you and wait on you are few and far between.
Looking forward to your return.
