Yes it does, but it's not necessary. It was my shoulder surgeon that
ordered the nerve conduction tests (from a specialist in that) to find
out
how severe the nerve damage was. Those tests can't lie. The fact they
showed up trapped nerves further down the arm was incidental.
As he says I will lose the grip in my hand if I don't have the surgery,
I
have to have it. He specialises in arm surgery so I will be in good
hands.

I really hope this will be the last surgery you need and that Boyfie
doesn't get too upset at you leaving him again for a while.

Hopefully it will only be a couple of days this time. Boyfie is very
brave when his meowmie is gone - 8 weeks last time. He clings to the
house, with other people feeding him,.hoping against hope that I will come
back.
And I do, and last time when I came back, he meowed and meowed for the
whole evening, he just would not shut up. I guess he was thrilled ;-)

Either that or he was bawling you out for leaving him for so long. ;-)

Nope - poor health is not a punishment!

Oh dear Christina. You're having such rough time. At least you had good
news about your ligaments. I'm glad the consultant was so nice, it does
help. The sooner he can get you sorted the better. Then you can move
forward.

Purrs and prayers being sent.

Judith


Thanks, Judith. Every time I have an operation, I think it will be the
last. It never is.

I have to yet another operation.
I went to see my shoulder surgeon at the LRI today to get the results of
my
ultrasound and nerve conduction tests that I had done a while ago.
The ultrasound was to see if the ligaments were intact and they are, so
good
news there. The nerve conduction test showed that I have nerves trapped
in
my wrist and behind my elbow and I have to have surgery to release them.
He
says it's not an option to leave it.
Oh, joy! Just when I was beginning to get my life back from all my
previous
operations :-(
This is nothing to do with my shoulder function, the nerve test also
showed
extensive damage to a bunch of nerves at the base of my neck that control
the raising of my arm and although he says there is evidence from the test
that these nerves are showing some signs of recovery (and nerve recovery
he
said today can take up to 2 and half years) he also said realistically
that
it is unlikely that I will ever be able to raise my arm right up ever
again.
Nüle calls me "lucky Tina" in a sarcastic way.

So I get my nerve tests for my shoulder and it shows whole new problems
that
I need surgery for.
The consultant said "how did you do this injury, again?" I said I fell
over my cat. He said "you had a severe injury at the time and now it's
coming to light that it's worse that we thought"
I said I must have almost bankrupted the NHS fund I paid into through my
wages, just in the last ten years.
He said "if you run into trouble, healthwise, it is not your fault"
Aw, he was so nice today. I've seen him 3 or 4 times and once he was
quite
nasty. Maybe he just had a bad day, but I came out of that consultation
and
cried.
Anyway, he says his waiting list is 3 months but he thinks he can fit me
in
as a day case sooner. Can't wait :-((

I am such an unfortunate child. I feel that if there is an operation
available, I somehow have my hand up for it - Me - Me, I want that!

I need a big hug

Tweed


Wow, you do have the worst luck I'm very sorry to hear this. Thank Bast
you have health coverage. And I'm glad the doctor was nice about things.

In that case I do hope you had lots of fun being wicked to make up for all
this.

Judith

Unfortunately I can't remember it!

He got annoyed with me (not at the time I presented with my broken and
dislocated shoulder) but in a subsequent consultation, because I'd waited
two and a half weeks before seeking help. That made it impossible to reduce
the dislocation without an operation and caused a lot of nerve damage. Not
only that, I had to wait another 4 days for him to be available to fix it,
as it was felt by the ER staff that only he could do it.
If I'd had someone living with me at the time, I would probably have gone
straight away, but the idea of asking poor June to look after Boyfie and the
chickens again kept me struggling on.
Stupid.

Tweed
