Hi Dear Ones! I am scheduled for shoulder surgery on September 19th! I guess this is a belated birthday present since my birthday is on the 16th!

While I was walking my two beautiful dogs, they saw a kitty cat and took me for a ride. The result was a large full-thickness tear of the supraspinatus and a SLAP tear, which means the muscle was torn off the bone and I have very little range of motion in my dominant arm. I just moved to Jacksonville, Florida, and was planning on doing massage for the retired folks down here! Well, that's not going to happen for some time now.

My health insurance is not that great in that I can't get the surgery done in a hospital and will have to do it outpatient in my doctor's clinic. YIKES! Freaking out because my sweet older sister, Sharon, had knee replacement surgery five years ago and six weeks after surgery she died from her lungs being filled with blood clots. Later found out a hereditary gene which causes blood clotting disorders called Factor 5 Leiden has been passed down to all siblings.

I will need assistance with medical bills, home health care, and bills since I will be out of commission until January 2026. Anything you can spare, I would be truly thankful for. Thanking you in advance for your show of support and kindness in this time of need.
