Well I met with my ortho today. He looked at the mri & report & turned around to look at me & said, you really messed your shoulder up, didn’t you. I said, so a cortisone shot & Im good? He looked over at Les & said she’s kidding, right? Les said ,no she’s serious. Doc said, that won’t work a bit, I’m recommending a reverse total shoulder replacement; a rotator cuff repair will not hold, there’s too much damage. So right now I’m scheduled for 8 April, he wanted to do it next week but Les is having gall bladder surgery on Monday (with at least a 2 week recovery) & one of us needs to be able to drive! If he gets released to drive we’ll try to push it up a bit (of course doc is on vacation last week of March). I should be good to go for Hawaii in June, but no paddleboard for me. Sigh. Melody
