Re: [RC] Sidelined! - Truman Prevatt

Valerie,

My wife did a long time ago skiing. Caught an edge in on an icy mogul, and flipped and landed on her shoulder. She was laid up for quite awhile and the shoulder finally healed - ligaments take a long time to heal.? The bad news is the shoulder had a tendency to dislocate after then. That continues today. After a freak accident last year she had a minor break in her wrist. She was talking to the ortho guy about the shoulder. It seems that while the ligaments healed - they are stretched and the joint is "too loose." It can be fixed by surgery. That might be something you want to talk with your MD about at some point.

Anybody out there have a similar injury?? How long did it take to recover?? I'm just feeling like I'll never get better.? Farriers are not well known for our patience in ourselves.? Besides, I need to work.? Not just for the money, but for my mental health.? For the moment, just looking for a little conversation and maybe some encouragement!
