Hello again, I got a letter from the hospital on Friday and I am booked in for my shoulder op on the 6th of July, which is great in the respect of FINALLY I get it fixed but ohhhh noooooooo in the respect of I am heading to Queensland on the 28th.
The surgeon told me that shoulder surgery is one of the most painful and slowest recovery period as any orthopedic surgery. Oh great how good is that. Oh well we will just take each day as it comes, I will be stashing up on pain killers to take with me. The girls have assured me they will give me lots of TLC.
Nothing will stop me getting on that plane, I can't wait for the break.
Anyway, til next time C x:)

Scary but Good news
I got a phone call the other day to let me know I could go into hospital on the 16th April to have my shoulder done. ( for those that don't know I (apparently) have a spur growth on my shoulder that points itself into the tendons of my arm causing a lot of pain) I have been waiting over 2 yours to get this done, my original surgeon left Burnie and now there is apparently some locums here to do some catch up surgeries. I am off today to meet my new surgeon and then next Thursday I go "under the knife" I actually am quite scared about the whole thing. But hey, Imagine the crafting I can do with a "good" shoulder lol.
I also am on Twitter (does that mean I am a twit???) follow me here http://twitter.com/neca84
thats it for today.... til next time .... Carol xx
