OT: ' surgery today, my faring

[Guest guest]

Hi all, it is into the evening now and finally is sleeping. Today was

his shoulder surgery where they went in and removed all the massive amounts

of calcification from arthritis, fixed the rotator cuff tear and took a

small piece of bone out to free up space. All that and they send him home

with me. I know it's all to save money now days but I so wish it were back

to the days that they at least kept you overnight especially if it's on a

weekend so your not thrown out with the dogs and no one for help should it

be needed. They sent him home with this huge drum looking pillow sling set

up on his arm and it was not right and I cannot move his shoulder of course

but had to adjust it because it was riding up and his elbow was causing his

hand to go numb all afternoon. I finally got it back to where it's supposed

to be without moving his shoulder and he was able to drift off. Another

thing was damn worker comp wouldn't approve the prescription for antibiotics

of all things today!!!!!!! Say the adjuster had to approve it and then she

is on vacation so they approve the Norco, which I have at home, but no

antibiotics! So I had to overdraft my checking account to buy them so they

can sit on their thumbs till whenever for me to get a refund. But the point

is the guy could be dying and they simply want to make it difficult because

they don't like having to pay the claim. I'm sorry folks. I'm hurting and

having a bit of a flare myself and going in and out of the pharmacy three

times and standing for an hour waiting for them to call everyone to get it

sorted out made me hurt, then coming home and setting up his little ice

machine, food, drink, bedding moved from one place to the other several

times trying to get him settled with the sling/drum. It's all quite much.

I don't know if I'm flaring or not because several weeks ago I had a rash on

the inside of my thyes that looked similar to still's and only lasted a day

without apparent cause and then disappeared just as mysteriously and then a

sore throat for two days and then yesterday my elbow so arthritic all

morning I couldn't bend it because of the pain but then went away and is

fine.

I know it will all get better as each days passes but I'm afraid it aint

going to be easy on either of us for the next three months the doctor said

it would take for recovery.

Well all thank you for reading and letting me share, have a good night and

I'll be around should anyone want to visit in the next few days. Love

,

Was thinking about you and yesterday and glad to hear you all

made it through. Wish the emotional buracracy issues did not have to

come into play. But will continue to keep you in my thoughts and

prayers. As you know, each day will become easier and you will get

through this.

Hugs

Tom
