Shoulder Operation....

[Danny]

The first of my shoulder operations is a week thursday (16th October)

Cant come soon enough but dreading the mass of headaches its going to create... no use of my right arm for 6 months (surgeon says may be quicker)...

Then when I recover I get the left one done...

remind me why I did so much plastering all those years ago?

honestly, realistically, think of a 12/15 month break from the building trade, think postively, keep your mind active over the coming months, long haul ahead danny, keep us informed how you are getting on, all the best,

That's the reason why I left plastering, if you are self employed 6 months out is just not possible. That's why I never considered having surgery also there was never a 100% guarantee that full mobility of the shoulder would be restored. It was basically a gamble I just wasn't prepared to take.

Yeah I have had about a year off any major building projects which ahs helped but I do have my 75M2 storage building to get built next year but no pressure or drams if it does not.

I have plenty of things to keep my mind busy Not driving or going out on the bike is going to hurt more...

Surgery has been the last resort... not being able to use my hands and having weeks out of action has not been great... fingers crossed they dont botch it

You'll have to carry your wallet on the other side for a while mate.
Hope it all goes well.

My mate just landed in hospital, I visited and I was a bit suspect about his nurse - Thai ladyboy I think. I told him I’ll bung the nurse a few quid to make sure you get a nice morning bed-bath.

Hello I am out of office and using a speech to text at the on my phone so this should be quite interesting.

The operation went well they managed to avoid doing a rotator cuff repair because it wasn't needed the pain and problems I've been suffering it because it was bone on bone so they've managed to grind away a lot of the bone and get some distance between them now by removing the bone if that makes sense.

They also found that had quite a lot of bones bears which is what was damaging my tendons and stuff so they've now taken them all off and ground away all that and giving a nice polish so you shouldn't be a massively long recovery.

I am off my tits on morphine and a nerve block so that's going to be an absolute joy I think when that wears off.

Decided to semi retire b4 knees get worst now. Only do my best regulars n limited type of jobs I'll do. No more up big scaffolds especially on cold winter mornings. Won't bother with quacks unless it gets to bad or new breakthrough less barbaric treatments become available.
