Thanks everyone for making me feel better about postponing my shoulder surgery. You are correct that this way I will have the house in order and my son to help me.Melissa

I "fifth" it! I am hoping you will also get some pain reduction as you get farther from you last surgery (and before the next one).

Congratulations, Melissa! Hopefully, the stress will dissipate as you move in, and you can start to enjoy settling in.

Have you moved in? I hope so. Buying a new house is incredibly stressful, but now I'm hoping a lot of that stress will dissipate and you can get on with your badly disrupted healing! You've had such a rotten time, things must get better now!Surgery March 3, 2009 at almost 58, now 63.

OMG. If your life was a move, no one would believe it. I am so sorry this has happened. At least you can taken solace in the fact that you hadn't moved in yet. Please tell me it was covered by insurance!Originally posted by mabeckoff View Post
