Scott, how are you feeling? Hope all is going well.

Doing well Bryan... Thanks for asking. Although it looks like i might have a possible setback. Doc thinks I might have a torn rotator cuff in addition to the broken scapula on my left shoulder. I have an MRI scheduled for next Friday to confirm. Other than that I have to get a CAT scan on my neck next week then see the neuro-surgeon on the 27th. Hopefully I'll transition to a soft collar then.
Car is still sitting in storage, I'm anxious to get some dudes together and strip what I can off of it.

congrats Geno!
it figures you would donate it back, your a class act!
Hope Scott is making a good recovery,
I was there to witness the misfortune,
I shudder when I think of what I saw when I got to the scene,
the actions of this board make me glad I'm a Buick owner, and member of this board!
Thanks to all of you!

Scott any updates on the rotator cuff? How is therapy going? Did you get the car stripped yet? Hope all is well with you.

Sorry Bryan, I missed your question. MRI revealed torn labrum which they are not going to repair at least not right away. I did however have "adhesive capsulitis" (sp?) basically the shoulder was full of scar tissue and no amount of therapy was going to get through. I ended up having a procedure called Manipulation Under Anesthesia. They put me under and "crank" my shoulder through it's range of motion to break up the scarring. It really worked. I have almost full range of motion now but it's still weak... doing PT 3 times a week for another couple months. Other than that, I'm out of the neck brace but it's still very stiff. C6 & C7 have naturally fused which I'm told is a good thing. I'll probably always have limited range of motion but I'm coping. Looks like permanent loss of feeling in my left index finger also. Overall, I'm feeling good. Just starting to dabble a little bit in helping a few locals with their cars. Thanks again to all for all the love.... means a lot!

Manipulation Under Anesthesia...sounds painful. Im sure you are glad to be out of the neck brace !! The limited range of motion should be minor, I had C5, C6 and C7 fused after my accident. I now have a Titanium plate in my neck with 6 screws. My biggest loss of movement is downward, I can no longer touch my chest with my chin. I also lost some range to my left. It really hasn't stopped me from doing anything except martial arts which I have become too old for anyway,lol. Is the loss of feeling in the finger from nerve damage? Therapy sucks but it definitely helps, hang in there. Keep us posted on your recovery. Good luck to you !
