NO S**T!!!
This is when I realized that the golden years are really nothing but tarnished brass :laughing:
Bill
Yeah, more like green, smelly, and bent up all over!
Wishing you and Carmomma a speedy recovery. Jeez, ya gotta remember we don't bounce back like rubber anymore. Be careful, be safe.
And ya' know... if she'd have 'bounced' we might not be here.
Speedy recovery to everyone!!!
Hope everyone gets back to much better soon!
Thanks guys... Jesus, we need to start getting better around here.... wondering how bad, BAD is supposed to be. :dunno:
Well, I am truly sorry to hear about carmomma, Tony. I have not been on the forum for a while (in the process of selling my house and moving) and was just trying to catch up a bit and saw the news. My first thought was an intra-articular fracture even of the non-dominant should require surgery. As I progressively reading through the page I was formulating my reply and low and behold she is scheduled for surgery.
If you ever need some post-operative guidance as to what she should do awaiting the formal rehabilitation OR after they remove her from fixation and you want to discuss the physical therapy, feel free to PM. That's what I do for a living
Was wondering where you been Claude. Boy I tell ya'... I'm glad (or at least hope) that I never EVER have to move again. We moved here in 04, from our old place where we were for over 22 years. It took "Two Men and a Truck" SEVEN men and THREE trucks, with two of them making two trips! :laughing: We'd started moving stuff a week before that, and continued to make loads for a month afterwards. Just had to get here when we did as school was already 2 weeks in and we had to get the kids moved.
I still have your cell (I think) and probably will have some questions once we get into this mess.
I just HATE that she has to go through this ordeal. Considering missing work, ANY work... is out of the question.:nomore:
She's lucky there, having been there over 30 years.... as long as she puts in 4 hours she gets paid for the full day. Just that this last year she's been taking care of her Mom quite a bit, back and forth to all sorts of doctors, then several trips with me to surgical centers she's done a LOT of half days this year. (
Good thing there's about 6 weeks of vacation/personal days to work with.)
As for my shoulder; all he could say today was "that is strange".
It's obviously a muscle, but it's NO - WHERE - N-E-A-R where it's supposed to be!
Already did an MRI earlier this year on it, (
showed some rotator cuff damage) but this time it's like a kielbasa running across the front of my armpit! Still aches at the 'cuff' and down the outside of my bicep, and has let up down the inside of my tricep. It was CRAZY sore there last week!
Told him I'd been using lots of ice, that and Lidoderm patches. He asked if it hurts..."
As long as I don't move it anything but slowly, reach behind me, above me, out to the side, or try to pick up anything that weighs more than my arm you mean? Basically as long as I don't use it.... sure, short of that it's fine." :laughing:
But yeah.... thanks for the offer Claude. Guess we'll see after Friday what we're to do next. I'm thinking skydiving, maybe one of those flying suits. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes the bug. Bet you smack into something while flying and you're a good sized bug!
It's moving weird when I walk, swollen, tender, has fluid on it, and needs a shot!
