denGood news! It's not urgent! I can have the operation here in Dubbo as day-surgery. I see the orthopedic surgeon in April to work out dates etc.
Bad news: it's not urgent, so I go on a queue that will exceed a 12 month wait. I can dip into my private insurance to reduce the wait time but I'll take a financial hit with premiums. Or I can get it done free under Medicare but have to wait on the long queue. Either way, I will have to put up with the dodgy shoulder for some time.

I hope you get everything sorted pretty soon, and I hope you start getting better the instant it's all taken care of.
