Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Good Afternoon, Pond!
It’s a bright, sunny day on my lily pad. There’s a nice breeze blowing as well, so it’s a good drying day. Hopefully DH will be able to get back in the field this week.
What is he doing now? Something still needs harvesting?
 
So..... my shoulder has been hurting...

I was waiting for it to get better... didn't... it actually felt like it was getting worse....

So, during my RL Saturday morning coffee group, I asked all the old folks there what they thought...

They all voted for me to get seen by a doc. :rolleyes:

So.... Monday I called, got to see a doc same day... surprisingly... and yeah, a full doc. not a PA or what have ya.

So.... doc said "hum" and then said I shouldn't be favoring it... because that would cause me to have a "frozen shoulder". I looked at her and said, nope, there are some ways that I will NOT move that arm. Nope.

So, she ordered an x-ray.

I got x-rayed. That was bad, but not horrid. X-ray guy didn't ask me to move it in a way I refuse to move it.... so... whatever.


X-rays came back, doc said "wow, it almost looks like your shoulder is dislocated, because of the way the bone is sitting" I said "no, it isn't dislocated, but maybe torn" so.... she went... got a doc who specializes in such things to look at it... came back, with "yep, torn, you need an MRI, and then surgery"


So.... :tongue:tongue:tongue

It hurts worse now... I don't think because I had to hold it funny for the x-ray.... but because now I KNOW it is NOT getting better, and it will take gobs all of time before it gets fixed.

MRI, earliest available is the 30th.

And in hindsight... I think I have been making it worse... like it started with a little tear... and I made it tear worse because I kept doing stuff I shouldn't have done with a torn shoulder....

:th

And now I am just tired... tired of being in pain all the blasted time... and #$%#@&!!! angry that I made it worse... and have to wait weeks... maybe months, and spend gobs of money....

But... supposedly this kind of surgery is usually easy and successful.

So... good... :idunno I guess
