Upcoming Surgery
I am scheduled for outpatient shoulder surgery on Friday, September 5. That’s all I know right now. More when I know.
Preferred Care, my health insurance, has a nifty way of avoiding approving a prescription for Celebrex for me. They “never received” the faxed request in June. The latest faxed request “went to the wrong office”. And then they kept the MD’s office on hold for a half hour, waiting for a human.
Needless to say, on top of my pain, the lack of medication is discouraging. I took another tumble night before last and fell right on my right shoulder. Well, for the millisecond it took for the unbelievable stabbing pain to reach my brain. then I landed on my left, so am now bruised in several places.
I am told that I will not have the use of my right arm, post surgery, for three weeks or more. The lovely wife assures me she can cope. We’ll see.
