Shoulder Surgery

This post won't be as long as normal due to me typing with one hand. :)  Last Wednesday I had surgery on my left shoulder.  I had been having problems for about a year and a half and tried different treatments but with no success.  The diagnosis was subacromial bursitis.  For all you medics there is a diagram below :)  The surgeon took off 6mm of bone in one area and 4mm in another.  There was talk of having to cut the bicep and tie it but thankfully when they did surgery it wasn't necessary.

I saw three doctors on Monday prior to surgery.  Two of which were shoulder specialists from Canada who were in country for 6 days doing surgeries.  They scheduled me for Wednesday.  Simon and I went into hospital at 7:30am and the surgery took place at 1:30pm.  I was back in my hospital room by 5:30pm.  The actual surgery takes between 30 and 50 mins normally but the anesthetic took longer to wear off.  We were home the next again day after lunch.  I will start physiotherapy on the 19th May and will probably be in a sling until then. There is still quite a bit of pain with certain movements but that should reduce in time.  I won't be able to drive for 4-6 weeks but thankful for our MAF team and friends who are filling in the gaps when Simon is not around.  Praying for a full recovery!
