Most of you know of Lorraines recent fall and her stay in hospital, she came home Saturday after we asked to be referred to our Ortho surgeon. Rang him 9.00 Monday, come see me 10.30. 11.30 CT Scan and Xrays. Tues full range of bloods, urines and ECG. We were to see him Mon 19th, phone rings, need to see you earlier things are not good. See him this morning and in his words the left shoulder is broken, numerous bone fragments and ligament and tendon damage.
Booked in for surgery Saturday to basically overhaul the whole left shoulder, pins, stitches, whatever is necessary. 5-7 days in hospital, 6 weeks minimum in a sling. Best we can hope for is being able to lift her arm to shoulder height.
When the rehab is done, an assessment will be made on the right shoulder and any further surgery.
Like most 2020 is a year to forget, oh well, onward and upward towards 2021.
