I'm gonna miss ya'll................don't forget me.........

I will not be on the board for quite some time over the next several months. As most of you know I have been having trouble with my right arm,shoulder,neck and back. I was finally able to go get a MRI this past Tuesday, made a appointment with the ortho doc on Wednesday. It is not good news. I am going to have to have rotor cuff surgery on Monday. They say that it is really bad, there are going to be 2 doctors in there working on me. He said he doesn't know how I have went so long like this. I told him it was because I did not have insurance to cover the testing and for sure not the surgery, so I was just dealing with it. I am also having similar pain starting in the left arm. They did not do a MRI on it, but he says after the right one heels, then they will do the test on the left to see what is going on with it. He is fairly sure that I will have to have the left one done within the next six months or so. It looks like all of this is going to interver(sp) with our cruise, not real sure what we are going to do about that. So I will be at Summit at 9:00 on Monday and surgery is suppose to be at 11:00, they said that it would probably take at least 3 hours maybe more, they really won't know for sure until they get in there. They are going to try to do it with the scope, but he might have to end up having to do it open. It depends on what all they find as to if I will go home same day or not, again they won't know until they see what all they have to do. So just when we think things were looking up a little for us.......BAM we get hit again. Please keep me oh and of course Phil in your thoughts and prayer's. I will try to lurk around when I feel up to it. As of now I still plan on being at the Dinner Club next Saturday night, if anything changes I will have Phil post for me. I also have some other information about events, that I will post sometime this weekend for me to get your input on. So you will see my purple letters on the board for a couple of more days, but after that, well I'm not sure when I will be back.

Love ya'll
Cheryl

I hope everything goes smoothly for you and pray they can use the scope. My boyfriend had that surgery in the past.

We will miss you.  As Rosanna Danna on Saturday Night Live used to say (remember her?)  "Its always something",

I hope that everything comes out ok for you.  Keep the faith!

Sorry to hear about your surgery but glad that you're getting it taken care of.  Of course we will miss you.  Take care of yourself and get well soon.  Tell Phil that he has to keep us posted on how you're doing.  Good luck and I'll be thinking about you.

love,
Melissa

Cheryl, I am so sorry to hear this.  I will keep you on my prayer list that all will go smoothly.  You will be missed.

Cheryl....

If it's not Phil, it's you.  What is up with that????  You'll definately be in our thoughts and prayers.  Tell Phil he is to keep us updated.

You are just going to LOVE the abductor sling!  And the physical therapy!  Lord, girl, I feel your pain.  My biggest piece of advice is DO EVERY SINGLE EXERCISE THEY TELL YOU! But only when they tell you. DON'T pu****!  Take care and don't overdo.  They will do a block on Monday so the pain won't be too bad until about 24 hours after surgery, then take the drugs!  You should be able to go on your cruise without a problem.  I am going back for more surgery myself on Monday, my shoulder has frozen with scar tissue, so they are going in after it.  Good luck and you will be in my prayers.

Oh my gosh.  I hate to hear that about your rotator cuff... those can be very painful...  my uncle had one though and did very well with surgery and physical therapy. I hope everything goes well for you!  Will Phil be posting about your healing progress?  Hey, you dictate and he can type!  LOL

 

I hope you get to feeling better with all the emotional things you have been going through as well with your son.  Take care and heal up soon.  Maybe it will go much better than you expect and you can hunt & peck a few words!
