I've got savings and credit cards, at the end of the day I know this isn't going to be the end of the world just really hate going any further in debt. I've been home from prison 3 yrs and its taken me this long to save just that little bit and its supposdd to be for a down payment on a house next year.... it is what it is. Just need to be grateful that surgery is even an option cuz last time this happened it wasn't and I didn't use my arm for almost a year and it will effect me for the rest of my life.
Most definitely. Just sucks is all. Spent 10 yrs in federal prison and came home 3 yrs ago to 0 and took me this long to save up a little money for a down payment on a house next year and looks like I'm about to be back to square 1. It's all good though.
Just got some horrible news yall... ortho says it tore the main tendon on top of my rotator cuff and that it will not heal without surgery. Tear is almost 2½cm wide and its retracted 2.7cm from where it should be.. pretty sure insurance will cover 100% till the end of year but the problem is that my arm will be in a sling for 6 weeks which means I'll be out of work for at least that long and here lies the problem.....
Story time... 20+ yrs ago same arm was ripped completely out of socket and I was told that surgery was a must.. well I didn't get it and I didn't use my arm for almost an entire year but eventually it healed. Left me with limited range etc but my point is- that was a lot worse than this and it healed.. idk wth to do. I guess 2nd opinion is probably a good place to start

No i was responding to @Arabian's comment, he was making suggestions about how to make it financially if I end up not working through my recovery
The surgery is covered 100%
