Hi Nicki and everyone else.
I had pains in my shoulder after coming home from SCT. I had physio which had little effect.
The pain gradually went away, but I feel a general weakness in the affected arm still after 14 months.
I put it down to lying awkwardly in bed in hospital. I had a drip, etc in the affected arm and wondered if I held the arm awkwardly because of that.
Grumpiness – I had all that grumpy stuff happening at one time, too. I am now back to normal (only a bit grumpy) and the rest of my life is "normal" again. Home life is brilliant as always and sometimes it (the SCT) seems like a bad dream. I have flown a plane since my SCT, got a new job, had the house extended, caught a 20+LB carp, started a new band, bought a new car and sold the old one, bought a new guitar and amplifier, taken the family to Glastonbury on hoiday and grown tomatoes and chillies. I also learned to cook and have started writing a book.
That wasn't just stuff about me…I wanted to let you know that life can be normal again after this illness has been treated and I hope your husband feels better soon.
Good luck on Monday David.
John
