Surgery

It was quite a while before I was able to write again. 

So much had happened since the last time I published an entry. So to give a brief recap... 



August 28, 2013 I got a S.L.A.P. repair on my shoulder. When I was 12, I had an accident while swimming on the river. I hit a big rock which I haven't told my mom that I had my shoulder dislocated.  For few years, the pain keeps coming back but recently this year, my shoulder dislocates more often like it used to. So I went to the doctor and he said an operation is needed. 

So there... I went to the hospital. It was my first time to have a surgery. I was a bit scared because I do not like having scars or wounds.  I am not afraid of blood or needles so no prioblem with that.  When nurse put a needle inside to get a blood sample... oh well she did like twice because that has also been a problem with me. My veins are hard to find! 

I am not sure how long the operation was but I think it was an hour or two.  I just woke up with a plaster on my right shoulder and a nurse yelling at me to pee.  But all went well, I guess.


I am under recovery still.  One month, I have to wear a sling (even when I sleep at night, which I find difficult). Now, the second month... I am able to move my shoulder but I cannot raise my arm up high. So it will take 5 more months...


So there... I cannot write as much as I want too ... my shoulder starts to hurt like hell. Till next time:)
