I am currently stationed in Guam; this is what is going on with me so far.
1. 1st LIMDU November 2010.
2. 2nd LIMDU May 2011.
3. 7 Nov 2011 Recommendation for IDES was submitted.
4. 17 November received a letter from the PEB stating:
"The PEB has determined referral is warranted for the following medical conditions:
- Bicipital tendonitis, right hand
- Bursitis subacromial, right hand
- Chronic and recurrent pectoralis major tear with retraction
- Left pectoralis major tear
- Chronic right shoulder pain
- Small partial articular side tear of the supraspinatus
- Immediately post-op from righ proximal biceps tenodesis
5. 18 Nov 2011 signed election of options and agreeing with the PEB's recommendation that I be referred to the IDES.
6. 2 Dec 2011 Received an email from the PEB stating that service HQs has been notified and I will be receiving PCS orders to a command in CONUS within 90 days of agreement of recommendation (the date I signed the election of options).
Now, I just sit here waiting for my PCS orders.
A little background on my case
Nov 2008 I tore my right pec
Sep 2009 Had first surgery to try to repair it, surgery was unsuccesful - Surgery was in Guam
Oct 2010 another unsuccesful surgery, during this surgery the doctor also repaired a labrum tear on my shoulder. - I was medevac to Hawaii for this surgery
May 2011 I was medevac to Hawaii for a follow up, Doctor said my injury was permanent in nature and found a tear on my right bicep.
Jul 2011 I tore my left Pectoral muscle
Sep 2011 Had another surgery to repair right bicep.
Also my Doctor didn't think it would be a good idea to have surgery on my left pectoral due to the history of my right one not being able to heal properly.
If you are going thru the same thing, or If you have any questions let me know - I will update this as I move along!
