Well, it's official. In layman's terms the Doc sez I'm a pussy. No need to go under the knife again. No tear to be seen. Sez the shoulder is "Frozen", meaning stuck and hurt from the compression. Basically my Ballistic Coefficiency isn't so good. His explanation makes some sense. Said look, you're 240 lbs and augered in pretty good. What you didn't break to the brunt of the impact and it's a complicated area of the body to damage. It's going to take time to heal, but we've gotta get you into PT and get that wing moving. In the meantime I'm gonna give you a shot of cortisone in the shoulder through your upper back. WHAAAAA? Yes, it's going to hurt but then it's done and should make you feel better. Ok. Wack!!! That was horrific and nobody should ever do this unless you absolutely have to. Asked about how the plate was doing and the collarbone, told him it's sensitive and I want it out. Doc sez we can do that, but not for a year. What? Ya, gotta be in for a year before we can remove it. Fuck. So we're signed up for PT and looking forward to some more off the charts pain to try and get this thing going. I can't remember the lengthy medical term he used for my situation, but basically as stated, I'm a pussy.We'll see. And thx Cartman for the advice and insight. Apologize for not calling before I went, but we gotter done.
being old/getting old sucks. Definitely don't bounce back well anymore. At least you know now.
