My name is Tim. I was a trash driver for 12 years. Through covid and in September of 2023 I was hospitalized with pulmonary embolisms in both lungs after covid for the 5 time. Since then I have been dealing with long covid issues and other medical issues they have found after doing testing for other issues. I had back pain that would not go away during pulmonary therapy and doctors ordered a mri finding I need surgery on my back. But to have that I need to loss weight. Also I had been complaining of shoulder pain and popping when they finally ordered a mri on shoulder they found a full tear to the rotator cup and partial tears and partial tears to bicep. I had that surgery to repair shoulder October 13 of 25 and fell 2 weeks after surgery fracturing 2 ribs on left side. I keep complaining my shoulder is not healing and told it work take time. But only to find out that I retore my rotator cup and would need surgery again on the same shoulder and start the 6 to 9 month recovery on that shoulder again. I had that surgery on May 11. Let's hope all heals good this time so I can get my back surgery done next. As of my last weigh in I am down 102 lbs. With the help of a shot and seated workouts. Hope all starts to head in the right direction.
