I don't know where you are. I know how terrible this is. I tore my bicep, 3 surgeries later full replacement. It's 3 sizes too big. I was sent home. I went into septic shock. I had never heard of sepsis, 2017.
I turned 53 this month. I have atrophied right kidney chronic disease ptsd mdd gad night terrors insomnia depression lethargic zero quality of life nonalcoholic cirrhosis.
I hv lived and worked abd paid bills myself, since 14. I don't have parents, and disability is fighting on shame.
However, enough about me.
In 2017 I had my replacement. The nerve block works off all the way by 24 hours. The ice pack thing they strap to you. Oh you need help. I will keep u n my prayers. So sorry for u

I'm so sorry you're so sick. I had the left shoulder done and it turned out very well. I didn't have a nerve block for that one and they only reason I'm getting it this time is they are sending me home the same day. The last time, I had the cold machine and didn't have much pain. I will have someone stay with me the first night, which I usually don't do and then I'm on my own. I do have friends if there is an emergency. Don't be sorry for me. I'm a very strong person and it's amazing how many things I can do. I'm like a handywoman and if I don't know how to do something I can improvise. I'm pretty self sufficient. I'll be fine. I just wrote that so maybe I could help someone else be prepared for this. Keep on going.
