I know orthopedic issues don’t rate a rat’s ass compared to cancer, strokes or heart failure. But. Legitimately both rotator cuffs are detached. The big internal rotator (subscapularus) is there and between it and my delt it keeps my arm attached. No pain though cause the tendons are gone baby gone.Originally Posted by BuzzardMarinePumper
I can hardly brush my hair. Putting stuff on a shelf higher than shoulder level needs 2 hands, even if it’s light. And most noticeable is the ability to properly use a fork and especially a spoon. I’m re-teaching myself to eat so when I’m with other folks besides my wife, it’s not so awkward looking. Eating soup in public would likely not happen because it’s a disaster.
That said, you are dealing with the big C, Samson up there had a brain hemorrhage & we have other folks on this forum with other shitty stuff. So all in all, I consider myself lucky.
The paperwork transitioning to Medicare with our health coverage is a royal pain int ass however.
Rant over - sorry but you asked
