IT IS FRIDAY!!!! Yayy. I have a busy weekend ahead, running shoe shopping for Jarrod, two kiddies birthday presents to get, one party to go to and a photo shoot for my Torts. The wind is pumping here, but the sun is shining.

I went to the doc, yesterday because for the last two to three/four months (I forget exactly how long - it always seems forever and time merges for me for these things) I have had a pain in my right upper arm. Every time I moved it in a backward direction I will get a sharp pain. I thought that maybe that because it might be a strain or tear or something, that it was not healing as I am right handed. But the doc said last night that it should not be taking that long to heal if it is a muscle injury. So he thinks that it is either a problem with my rotator cuff OR it could be a problem with my neck either a pinched nerve or spinal problems (seen as how I already have spinal problems at the lower part of my back). So he gave me a quarter zone injection. If the pain goes away with the injection then it is the rotator cuff which is the problem, if not then they have to do further tests to see if it is the spine or neck/pinched nerve which causing it. I am really hoping that it is the rotator cuff which is the issue and hopefully the injection helps and sorts out the problem. As I do not look forward to having to go through the whole process that I went through with my back. Besides being expensive, it probably also means that I will be having these sorts of problems for the rest of my life and having discs going bad on me. So please hold thumbs and think good thoughts that it is nothing serious.

Now that the bad news is done, I will give you the good news: IT IS FRIDAY!!;)

I have the same pain in my shoulder. It’s been about two years.
It hurts when I take my bra off, reaching up or if I rest my arms on my head while watching tv, it hurts as I bring my arms down. Sleeping on it.
I went to a really good sports doctor and he told my it was “frozen shoulder.”
He said it take a couple of years to heal.
I told my chiropractor and she disagreed. Ugh!
It does feel better. I don’t care what it is, just make the pain go away.
I did X-rays too and it showed nothing.
I turned down the cortisone shot because I’m a big [emoji64]!

I hope you get relief soon. Try not to scrub or vacuum
That’s what my chiropractor said and I asked her for that in writing to give to my husband.
He bought me a IRobot Roomba for Christmas.

Happy Friday!!

Just back from a nice brisk walk around our local Patuxent Wildlife Refuge. Sunny, blustery, but not too cold (35F or so).

Peaceful, calm and quiet with only a handful of folks. Frankly, we are surprised that the gates are even open given this is managed by the Dept of Interior, and the government is out of money and many parks are closed.
