Update- Shoulder replacement

[Guest guest]

Hiya.  I saw my surgeon Friday and he said the scans (MRI and CT) looked good. 

He can do a standard shoulder replacement.  So he won't be messin' with my

rotator cuff any or much.  But he said that there didn't look to be any, and I

mean at all, cartilage between ball and socket.  I just nodded at him; he asked

if I'd already knew that.  I told him I wasn't surprised.  It hurts like hell,

so there's bound to be a reason behind it.  And sure 'nough.  Anyways, the

surgery's scheduled for Tuesday, September thirtieth.  He said I'd have to keep

it immobile for four to six weeks afterwards.  Of course, I'm not quite smitten

with the idea, as it's the hand I write with (I can do most everything else with

my left) but I've not much choice in the matter.  Should be fun...Who am I

kiddin'?  I'll go flippin' crazy!  Might as well throw away the key!  I can't

believe I won't be able to write for like three months or so.  I may still be

able to

type, between my bouts of being doped up and somethin' new in me yelling, " get

me outta here! "   My Dad said his mom, my Nana, will be flyin' down from

Wisconsin to help out when needed.  So that'll be cool.  I guess it could be a

good thing that I'm goin' ahead and getting the replacement.  At least it'll be

one less thing I've to worry 'bout later.  My Mom used to tell me, " when life

gives you lemons, make lemonade. "   To which I've always replied, " well, someone

left out the sugar. "

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here

If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
