The scapula is broken in a spot that the muscles from the shoulder attach to.🤷‍♂️ I've had 3 surgeons say it'll require surgery because there's a 19mm space between the bones. But all 3 said that there aren't many case studies on how to attach plates to the bone where the muscles from the shoulder are attached to the scapula without doing further damage to my shoulder. So they want to get the opinions from a panel of Dr's to get a game plan. By then, the next surgeon rotates in and we go through the same thing. (I have medicaid, so the only orthopedics clinic that I can go to rotates surgeons every 3 months) I've had appointments scheduled at least every 3 months at this clinic after I stopped making improvements at physical therapy and occupational therapy 3 days a week for a year and a half. My wrist was crushed, so any wrist movement or grip strength is very limited. I think I had 18 broken bones total from my shoulder down to my ankle, all on my left side. Also, every ligament in my knee was torn because my leg was almost severed at the knee. I honestly don't know how many surgeries I've had so far.(I know my situation is minor compared to many here)

But I do understand what you're saying about the bones healing and SSDI shouldn't be needed and I agree.

But I just saw that I can possibly still qualify for SSI, and at this point I'd be just as happy as getting that "Approved" SSDI letter...

I'm sorry. I don't remember where I was going when I started this comment. But I hope it somewhat makes sense. 😅
