Shoulder to shoulder

[maillotpois]

There's such a great roll of shoulder issues going, I thought I'd just add to it.

So when I first broke my scapula, and remarked about it being an unusual break, V's husband, Thom sent me an email with a display of his usually dry wit, something about "Wow - look at this, folks! There's something you don't see every day!"

Well, I went to my ortho today. I like him a lot. He's only about 5 years younger than I am, I estimate. I'm really okay with that. Anyway, when someone pulls up your (fresh, new) x-rays on the computer and basically says "Whoa dude, that's messed up!", it really puts things in perspective. He reiterated the fact he was shocked I hadn't broken a bunch of ribs and punctured the lung. And again went into gory detail about how this isn't something they would ever operate on. Like I needed convincing.

The x-ray chick taking those fresh new x-rays was all moving my arm around to get the shots in ways I haven't moved it in 3 weeks - OW!!

Bottom line is I may get PT in 4 weeks. And I tried to fold some laundry and have stabbing pains in my back. At least I have an excuse to delegate the laundry.
