Good evening @zhigirl2023. So, progress is being made. I hope there was at least an apology for sending you an incorrect diagnosis. So.....May 25th is the date of your surgery? I don't think I felt sad at the moment of acceptance of my future. I was happy that there might be a future without shoulder pain. I was also very trusting of my surgeon. No doubts or fears. If he felt confident about the projected outcome, so was I.

What else do you need to know at this point? How will you arrange support for your post-surgery recovery needs? Do you have a girlfriend or relative who can stay with you for at least week 1? Think about wherever you need two hands. For a while, you will only have one. I posted about my friend Kathy who just drove up to the mountain, brought in her suitcase, and said, " I am here. We are going to do this together". And we did.

Please stay in touch. Feeling sad, or frightened? I am right here.

May you be at peace and content.
Chris
