There maybe trouble ahead....

So up at 7 Alice arrived at 8 and we left for the hospital at 831. We were there and parked by 0920 and we all headed off to Radiology for the Ultrasound on my shoulder. Originally I was to have a steroid injection., but because I'm pain free they just had a look to see what was going on. Steph (haemophilia physio) was there (see extra) to see 1st hand how it was looking. So because it's feeling so good and I am feeling better, the only action was to get some new exercises. The rotator cuff is still damaged but I have to try to build the other muscles to compensate for its loss.

So after a chat with Steph I went off to my spine appointment at 1030. I met the new surgeon who I found to be clear and concise. Also he told me the truth :

He compared the MRI image done pre op October 18) with the MRI image done 2 weeks ago. He said he could see no change. In fact he said I will only get worse. At some stage I will need an operation to insert a steel rod, plates and screws.
He could only give me a 40 60 chance that it would be successful. He asked me what I wanted to do. I said I would return in 6months and discuss it again with him to which he agreed. He asked that I carry on exercising and before the 6months is up he would like a ct scan carried out so has the full picture

Time was getting on and on the way home we stopped for a pub lunch, and I had 2 pints of strong ale to go with it!

Home then and A went straight to bed, then C went to collect Z from preschool and shortly after that N arrived to take them both home.. Phew what a day.!

Day 48 - shoulder

3000 units of F8 injected at 8am no problems no pain.

Cool day with light showers.
