In addition to being a highly skilled surgeon Mr Talawadekar speaks to you and listens to you like your friend. I very much get the impression he really wants my left shoulder and arm to come back to full use and be as good if not even better than my right. He is using every skill and resouce availabe to him to make that happen but has also informed me of likely outcomes and possible risks along my path to recovery. I fell over and did myself massive left shoulder and arm damage at the back end of July 2020. I had 2 operations in 2 days at Furness General Hospital, the first replaced my dislocated shoulder and the second which is a specialism of Mr Talawadekar put metal into the bone to give a stable surface for the muscles, tendons etc that work my shoulder to grow back onto so that it can work as intended. I should also thank all the nurses and staff on ward 2 at the hospital who understood the amount of pain I was in and gave me loads of tips and help on becoming a functioning one working armed person. Hygiene was excellent at all times. Now just shy of 2 months after my fall I have 2 free arms, left not quite as good as the right yet but getting closer every day. Thinking back to when I was admitted to hospital my recovery so far seems nothing short of a miracle.
