I am still alive, well and kicking, as long as the kick doesn't involve any arm movements. I have been limited on computer activity as my right arm and shoulder are killing me. I have seen an ortho doc and it is a rotator cuff tear. I am waiting for an MRI and then, hopefully, surgery. The rotator cuff in my left shoulder is also torn and is becoming painful again. I had Physical Therapy on that arm two years ago and it helped, but, of course, did not heal the tear. So, sleeping is uncomfortable as I am a side sleeper and neither side is comfortable.
We are fortunate on this trip to have Bob and Pam Martin right across the way from us, so we have fellow MOCr's close. Pam and I did some shopping yesterday. It is nice to have someone to do that with.
Dave or I will keep you posted on the outcome of the MRI and the decision as to what to do with it.
In the meantime, in case I don't get on again,
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all. Hope you have great holidays!!!!!
