Will it ever end

After dealing with my shoulder for the last 8 months I'm finally going to have surgery on it. I've had three different cortisone shots, done physical therapy and taken medication, but all to no avail. It will feel better for a little bit and then start to hurt again. I had decided that I would get it fixed during the summer so that Teya would be here to help. But my Dad was here visiting and then Justin needed his knee done, so I am waiting.
I saw the doctor Wednesday and my surgery is scheduled for September 8th. I have a cyst on my left hand at the base of my ring finger that he is going to remove at the same time. I also discovered that the middle finger on my right hand is a trigger finger (it started hurting a week ago) and he wants to inject it with cortisone at the same time. So I'm going to be a bit of a mess for a few days.
I'm really not looking forward to the surgery. He said that it's extremely painful. It will be about two hours, and he has to shave the bone down. It is supposed to be straight and instead it curves down and rubs on my rotator cuff. If it doesn't get fixed than it will eventually tear my rotator cuff. What sucks is that sometime I will have to get the other shoulder fixed too.
I feel like I'm falling apart and I shouldn't be since I'm not very old. Wish me luck!

I have found that 30+ is actually as old as you thought it was when you were a kid. (Does that even make sense) Anyway you don't feel old, but your body does... It really sucks! Good luck! Let us know if you need anything!
