The year of the shoulder
The date is set--I am having arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder in early March.
I guess a year isn't quite complete for me unless a surgery is involved.
Here's the breakdown:
- Feb. 24: MRI to see how my brain is doing with Temodar (chemo). If all looks good (the same, or better, compared to the December scan) then I go forward with shoulder surgery.
- March 1: Pre-op day. I meet with the orthopedic surgeon and then the anesthesiologist.
- March 3: Out-patient surgery! Can you imagine? Wow. A surgery where I can walk in, and then walk out hours later. No shaving my head, or putting knives in my brain, or anything.
- All of March: Keep arm immobilized in sling; put my ambidextrous skills to use. After 4 weeks I go back on Temodar.
- April-August: Physical therapy.
You got all that? OK.
Go team!
