I wanted to say a massive thank you for all your lovely messages and check ins after my shoulder surgery ❤️
To update…
Things went really well, however, totally not to plan!
The high grade partial rotator cuff tear I was told was so bad it couldn’t heal by itself and could potentially tear fully if I carried on, turned out to not even exist! WTH!! The scanning equipment can sometimes not be very accurate apparently. The space left from the removal of calcium deposits must have shown up as a tear but they realised it wasn’t when they started to operate.
The surgeon did however shave off some bone and remove inflammation to decompress my shoulder and free up whatever was causing pain.
Despite being a frustrating (I wouldn’t have chosen surgery had I known!) and confusing outcome, the recovery time is way less (3-6months) and I’m already out of my sling and slowly starting physio. What will be will be and it may be the best thing for my shoulder in the long run.
I’m being well looked after and Tiger (the cat) has been great company and a good reminder to take things slow and steady.
Hope to see you all soon.
Em ###x. ❤️
