Well, it's time to get the rotator repaired. All started on July 5, 2015, trying to catch bait on a boat ramp and slipped on algae. Instinctively put my right arm out to catch myself and jammed that sucker pretty hard.
Went to an ortho in the Woodlands right after it happened and had an MRI done. Doc said it was bad and the tendons were retracted up under the muscle and he'd have to lay it open to get to it. I decided I didn't want to go through all that. I have lived with the pain and mobility issues since then with lots of prayer for healing.
A month ago I decided to go to the doc the did my knee back in 2009 and get on with it. I carried my old MRI and he ordered another. He told me that time is not your friend when dealing with this because the tendons usually keep retracting under the muscle and end up on your back. I wasn't thrilled to hear that. He said if it was that bad we would do a reverse replacement which he has had a lot of success with.
Brought the MRI back and he said he had good news. 2 tendons were still attached and the main 2 were laying in sight and he could get them and reattach them. My first thought, thank you Lord.
I go in tomorrow morning for surgery. Your prayers for perfection are appreciated.
