"Judith Latham" wrote in message ... 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. |

"Christina Websell" wrote in message ... 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. Jill |

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.
