Avascular Necrosis, the bone in my humeral head (bicep bone in the shoulder joint) is common in people who have had chemotherapy or high doses of steroids over a long period (that was me with Dexamethasone during radiation treatments). Anyway, this has been a growing problem in my shoulders as they deteriorate it is causing me much discomfort; and a loss of range of motion. Tomorrow morning, surgery is taking place to help stop the collapse of my left shoulder. If everything goes like it should (it will), There will be bad tissue removed from the humeral head with resurfacing measures and the possible addition of a cap or quarter sized 'button' to protect the good tissue underneath. This is outpatient surgery with an overnight into Saturday. Please pray for Dr. Hasan as his hands are guiding the treatment. I'm a bit anxious as well so please consider this in your prayers.
I cannot thank you all enough.
Real.Love.Now,
Leif
