Rotorer cuff surgery

Work is not important Tracey, you have to mend slowly, just keep the

doctor's notes flowing , Hope my physio will be helpful tomorrow 

Did you have a tendon sewn, ? That does take months to heal .

Chin up. shoulders back !!!!!

Yes I did Jacqueline as well as bone removed. Off to doctors tomorrow. Sick note and pain killers. I won't be doing a lot of snorkelling on holiday next month 😞. Let us know how you get on with your physio x

Hi ,back home physio gave me a "bit of a do" but made appointment

for acupuncture next Tuesday. She also said that she had spoken to the surgeon. who of course said I was in pain (which I didn't have before )

because I told him not to sew the tendon. so. It's my fault. As if he would say it was anyone else The only concern , is  will it get better.?

Probably not ,at a guess .Wonder how we will be in 6 months?  x

 

Let's hope it does get better. I saw doctor this morning. She has signed me off for 3 weeks then I go on holiday for 2 weeks. Hopefully will be able to return to work on light duties then. Have been to work and explained to them 😒

 Haven't you been back to see the surgeon, or consultant ? Did your company  understand that you were not going to work until you are

properly mended ? 

Don't forget to use your other arm 'for glass lifting   on your hols 

The sun will probably do it good. if there is any .Whatever it will be 

lovely just to get away. Make sure you take the medical card with you

.

Yes work understood. It's really because of my job that I have shoulder problems. I'm right handed so lifting a cocktail glass or 2 will be fine. Don't think I'll be doing an awful lt of snorkelling though 🍹🏊

Thought you snorkelled with your nose  ,and flapped your feet, ??

😂it's the getting in and out of a boat into the sea and swimming I think I'll sruggle with 

Time to put on a""Please help me  " face, and point it at something , tall,

dark and muscular.

Oh but imagine someone thinking they were helping and get hold of your arm and pull you up..... Ouch

I can''t ride because there is no way I can climb into the saddle without

using left arm, and it would need somebody at least 12 ft tall to lift me

up . Sooooooooooooooooo frustrating. Probably be  O.K on a camel ,

they do kneel down.  I am quite good at ouching without anyone laying 

 a finger on me  Hope that goes away 

Me too. I'm sure my family are fed up with me flinching and saying ouch

Meant to ask you if your arm muscles have gone all soggy,mine looks as though it has got anorexia

Not yet but I'm sure they will 

took about 8 weeks before they disappeared , should be about right

for you when you go on holiday.

MOT doctor tomorrow,fingers crossed ,and purse sewn up 

It's official ---- The car is in better nick than me  

At least you don't have that to worry about x

wish my bod wasn't any trouble. and just needed a yearly check up.

Your holiday is a day nearer WHeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee x

Yes it is. Sunshine!! Watching the news and Scotland's covered in snow ⛄️

How is your pain today ? It's like asking how the dog is lol

Have to say I have only had a few twinges today, the first shooting muscle pain starts as I sit up in bed first thing. Slapped on the Tiger balm, put the 

stretchy stocking bandage on. no probs, and now ,it's amazingly nearly 

no pain . and Iv'e been shopping, careful not to carry with  ""dodgy "

Can't wait for tomorrow. Maybe the physio pressed the right spots

John took me to mums for day. Is really tender and sore. Traveling in a car hurts. Didn't sleep very well again. Still sleeping on back with a V shaped pillow. As soon as I move it hurts and wakes me up. To be honest I could sleep now I'm so tired. 

I know exactly how you are feeling .I sleep on my back, or on the

opposite shoulder with a pillow to keep it level so there  is no pull on the muscles. I have resorted to the lowest dose of sleeping tab , just to

send me off. I'm a real rat bag if I miss out on sleep

Doctor wouldn't give me sleeping tablets incase I sleep to sound and move and damage surgery that's been done. i take codeine and paracetamol when I go to bed

Have to say ,when I take a sleeper, I wake up in the same position as when I dropped off, and I get about 6/7 hours Some GP 's  are not very understanding about sleep . or, lack of it,
