This month I continued to heal from a shoulder procedure (January 2022) and am learning to live with the pain in my right shoulder.
I participated in a Guided Vision Journaling Session with Jensine Larsen founder of World Pulse.
For those that don't know I've been living with painful shoulders for the past 5 years and PCOS/Endometriosis for the last 30 years.
During November 2017 I had my first rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder, and then a year later October 2018 I had the same surgery on my left shoulder.
After a few months of intolerable pain I was addmited to hospital to have a ruptured cyst removed 17th March 2020. This was my third polycystic ovarian surgery since 2004.
Its been a long 5 years of excruciating pain, sleepless nights and slow healing.
I still have bouts of low energy, pain and anxiety/panic attacks.
January 2022 was the month I finally had injections to relieve the pain in my left shoulder.
Its now 6 months of healing and I'm trying to keep positive but unfortunately my right shoulder is very painful. I have been to see an orthopaedic consultant who has suggested Pilates, swimming, massage and more trigger point injections.
Thank you to all my friends and family who pray for my recovery and good health.
This month I was invited to attend a World Pulse Visioning Session with founder Jensine Larson.
I'm struggling to type so I all I can say is that I enjoyed listening to Jensine and I tried to make notes about the session.
Thank you Jensine, World Pulse and all the other participants
