Insert your own punchline here.
Yes, I did it again. This time I had a surgery done at the Premier Orthopaedics Surgery Center. Before you shudder, I'd rather have surgery at a center like this. Uncrowded, really personalized service. And it costs a fraction of what a hospital surgery was. Plus, I was in at 11:30, out at 3:30, just time to have mozzerella sticks at Sonic.
The initial diagnosis was "impingment sydrome". Being me, things are never easy. I ended up with:
- arthroscopic SLAP repair, left shoulder
- arthroscopic subacromial decompression
- arthroscopic excision distal clavicle, left shoulder
- arthroscopic extensive debridement left shoulder
It only took 1 1/2 hours to do all this. I actually feel better now and have already my first PT, in which I amazed the PT with fact that I am hypermobile without needing to tell her.
Many thanks to Dr. Joseph A Wieck, Pat and Kathy. Y'all did well ! In thanks and praise of these wonderful healers, here's a little ditty from Ralph Waldo Emerson:
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
Irregular postings to come, as the shoulder improves.
