First, I'd like to ask for Prayers of Gratitude.
Wifey's leg healed up after 5 months of issues in time for her to have a SUCCESSFUL Cardiac Ablation in April.
And then, I'd ask for a prayer of healing for me.
I won't be posting for at least a few weeks. I'm getting ready to have my shoulder rebuilt on Wednesday, June3.
25 years ago, I rolled a van 4 times and busted myself up, taking 11 months to heal. My left humerus was broken into 3 pieces at midshaft in a 48 degree angle. When the orthodoc gave up on a closed reduction and put in a plate, he noted extensive damage to my rotator cuff. For a number of years, I'd go in periodically and have fluid removed and cortison injected. He didn't like my chances for successful surgery 25 years ago, and advocated waiting until it had to be done, hoping that techniques would be better. Well, over a year ago, I noticed a great reduction in both strength and range of motion in my left arm. Had it checked out, and was dx'd as needing a rotator cuff repair done. Wifey's year long health issues between atrial fib/cardiac ablation and the fall/hematoma/surgical evacuation etc. required me to delay surgery as we couldn't both be down, and I needed both hands to do dressing changes on her.
So, Wednesday, I go in to have a total rotator cuff tear/detached rotator cuff repaired. It'll require 6 weeks of having my arm strapped to my side to keep it imobile and allow it to heal as best possible.
So if ya'll miss me on the board, know that while I might be lurking, typing with one hand frustrates me and I probably won't be doing any posting.
Thanks in advance for the prayers.
