Not all doctors are created equal.In March of 2020, I injured my shoulder. I got a surgery immediately after in it. However I had lost functionality in some of the muscles in my shoulder. For everyday activities this was not a big deal because you can compensate. But any athletic endeavour now became a challenge of "can I still do this?"Over the next year and a half, I saw 5 doctors and 2 neurologists. The all told me my shoulder would get better "in the next month"(it didn't), or that it would never get better and I'd have to live with it.Then last month, on the behest of @nck237 and suggestion of @tteddles, I went to the Steadman Clinic up in Vail to see Dr.Millet. Within 3 minutes of seeing my charts, he said he could perform a surgery that would almost certainly help my situation. On Wednesday I had said surgery, and now I will excersie patience over the next few months to see if it worked.It's been a hard year for me, as it has for everyone. Cancelled plans to travel for a year, the pandemic, but most of all this injury.It's caused a mental shift from "anything is possible" to "this is as good as it gets". It's been hard. Every time I try to push myself I wonder, "is my injury holding me back?". I've written some learnings on my journey with this injury in the blog that linked in my bio. I hope you find it useful if you ever receive an injury and need to navigate the medical world in search of solutions.Lastly I'd like to thank some people. @nck237for being their during my whole surgery journey and bringing me delicious food in the hospital. @tteddles for her initial recommendation to go see a doctor in Vail over a year ago. I never let go of that idea and glad I finally went for it. @djdicato for always being a good friend and watching Nicole's dogs so she could take care of me in Vail. Steven the night nurse for taking care of me and putting up with my 2am walks around the ward. And of course to Dr.Millet for having a solution when no other doctor did.
