RE: Reacting to the Unfamiliar

in Reflections23 hours ago

Just one more time. I was in a van trip to Barcelona, with a group of friends from faculty. We caught one of the worst blizzards of the century in the Catalonia region, I think it was 1999. We had no experience of driving in snow and had to stop in Lleida to buy snow chains for the van's tyres. As we were walking along the streets, I slipped on the icy pavement and fell, and with the sudden movement I made with my right arm, my shoulder ended up dislocating again. It was a pain I still remember today, but I had the cold blood to push my arm back into position. Since then, I've been careful with the posterior movements of my right scapulohumeral joint. But from what I've heard, the placement of the surgical anchor ends up limiting the movements themselves... So I think I've made the best decision. Today, I have much more strength and capacity for movement in my right shoulder. I have no regrets about not having opted for surgery.
