Stupid Shoulder

I went back to the Orthopeadic Doctor today.  He ask me how I was doing.  I told him that I was slowly getting worse again.  I also told him I tried to stop the Mobic and I just couldn't without pain.  His solution was to injected it today and then operate when I want to set it up.  I am going to have surgery in January.  I am not sure when.  He said it would be immobilized for 2 weeks if it is just the bone spur, but 4 weeks if it has a partial tear.  He talked like he wouldn't be that surprised if it has a small tear of the rotator cuff.  So I will be trying to schedule it for the day after Joey's birthday.

Mine was immobilized just before Katrina. You'd be surprised at how high you can life a chainsaw WITH your shoulder immobilized. Not fun, but surgery was worth it for me.
