I'm glad you're still with us Meg! I didn't know anthing about orthopaedic surgery until I worked for a private medical insurer. We look after a lot of sports people, and now I can quite confidently chat away about sub acrominal decompressions, cruciate ligament reconstructions, and interveterbral disc replacements, it was all Greek to me!!!

I think I got the hang of it too quickly, coz now I am only one of three advisors on a specialist orthopaedic team!!!

There but for the grace of.... I have never had anything orthopaedic done, ouch! Hope the drugs keep doing their thing for you, you must be going crazier than you are already staying out of the gym!

Hi Meg,

Glad to see you around, even if it is because yuo cannot sleep from pain. I really hope this will get less. Your injury really really sounds bad, and I am surprised that it was possible to work through the pain.

I am resorting to lefthandedness also because of a tennis elbow & hurting R shoulder. Due to RSI. My doctor gave me some excercises but apparently there is some stuff in the shoulder joint. The shoulder creaks when I move, I always thought that was usual & harmless, but apparently not so.

Please take good care of yourself Meg,

Rabbit
(PS Silverbirch, you were right about the question AND the feeling in the college room. I was usually the only woman present, and I know that sinking feeling when yuo ask a question very well.)

Meg - Ouch, I know being on the DL is frustrating (was there last year after very minor surgury),I hope you'll be able to sleep better soon.

Get well soon!

Ali
