hi everyone

due to go in on friday at last. we pinned it down to a small supraspinatus tear and a bone spur to take off. and couple of cycts to remove. and somthing small on the infraspinatus to repair.

me boss has me booked in for following thursday back at work ( idiot). any one out there had kinda similar work done. i am a carpenter so heavy doors worktops kitchens. you now all light stuff in his eyes.

personally i was looking at 6ish weeks just to recover or am i wrong.

would be sad to see santa claus in a sling lol.
