As someone who was told my surgery would be done in December, thanks to the spiraling numbers of new cases, my hospital, Albany Medical Center, has pushed my surgery into January. After seeing the list of acceptable procedures for out patient surgery, I feel I'll be in limbo.
I've had a non-functioning arm since June following a serious traumatic break. Four months of therapy has failed to return function. Surgery is my last option. When surgery will occur is anyone's guess. Will there be a window for me to have surgery or will that window close and my fate is sealed. I am fully vaccinated, boostered, masked, shop early to avoid crowds and am being penalized by people who refuse to do their share for the greater good. I am but one of many patients waiting, and waiting, and waiting.........
