For those of you that don't have a clue what is going on with me--- I posted the links below to the other posts on this subject.
Well, the 6 month mark has come and gone. I saw the surgeon on Friday and have scheduled another surgery for THIS Thursday the 21st. The Doc wanted to do it before the end of the year. I just hope this makes the daily pain stop and fixes my arm so that I will have closer to 100% range of motion, which I DON'T right now is about 85%, I would settle for 95% at least then I could scratch my own nose and be able to ride my bike without hurting my back.
They will go in with a scope first and then if they can't repair it that way, they will go in old school----so really we will not know how long the recovery time is until it is all said and done.
So, I'm sure I will be having a pain killer induced Holy Jolly Christmas!! I do feel bad that I will not be able to help Shell (be her elf, but I'll be with her) with delivering all the gifts and food to the events on Christmas Eve & Day---- but this just needs to be done. One good thing has come from it----- I will be done Christmas shopping TODAY instead of Christmas Eve Morning!!  LOL

I hope all goes well for you and wishing you a speedy recovery, as well as a hopefully happy (though pain-killer filled) holiday.
