Coming down with a bit of a bang....

The holiday was just brilliant and just what I needed before my operation.  I came home lovely and tanned (well, as tanned as I ever am) and very happy.

The day after I got home I had to go and see the shoulder surgeon.  He did quite a few tests on my movement and then did something to it which made my shoulder make a massive, but very impressive crunch sound, to which the surgeon made a worried face and then apologised for hurting me.  I told him that he really didn't need too and that I wanted him to see what I was going on.

He said I needed some xrays to confirm what he thought and then he could make a decision.  So...I had the xrays and then went back and he showed me where the problem was and said 'I can't do any manipulation, I can't do any keyhole surgery, I think you know what I'm saying Sally.'

Unfortunately I did.

I've only ever cried once in front of a Dr and I thought that this was going to be the second time.  I managed to keep myself together by focusing on the job in hand, which is...What joint do I have replaced first?  A thought that most under 30's have!!

It's sunk in now and I'm getting used to the idea.  To be honest, I have no choice.  I'm just glad the hospital can help me.
