November

Yay, metal work out...

Nice to get the metal work out of my shoulder, as it has now been 7months since they put it in.  So far it looks like it has done the trick. Held my AC joint down for 7 months, while scar tissue got on with its job of binding it all back in place.  Hard to tell 100% just yet as the shoulder is covered in dressings and tape, but once all that comes off then I will see if the AC joint is going to slowly sublux again or not.  (hopefully not...)
