I had a shoulder ACL reconstruction a week ago today. It was a 3 hour surgery and it still hurts like hell.
Granted, the surgery was not done in Oz, but it was done by first world trained doctors using first world techniques and equipment.
Okay, so I am not 21 either, but I can't even get the bloody sling off by myself let alone jump a 3 foot fence.
I can barely stick my middle finger up when my wife takes the p!$$ out of me (many times a day) for my inability to do basic things like attend Church dances, stab people in the back, pull up my own pants and shower without her very kind assistance.
I think it's quite clear to everyone what it is I'm trying to say here. I'm just a big, fat, hairy, lazy, princess on medical leave for the next 4 weeks that needs to harden up. There's a whole world of stuff that I am missing out on because of this pain I'm pretending to experience.
