Back from the doc's
Dec. 17th, 2004 10:15 amThe shoulder pain I've been experiencing for a month+ is definitely my rotator cuff. No surprise there. He thinks it's more likely a strain than a tear, which is good. If it were torn, I think the situation would be Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200, Proceed Directly to the Orthopedic Surgeon and Why Don't You Give HIM the $200 and Then Some.
As it stands, he told me to do some stretching exercises. If it's not better next Thursday, I call him and he sets me up with some physical therapy at the hospital, conveniently located 5 minutes down the road so I can basically roll out of bed and down the hill to get there. If THAT doesn't work, off I go to the land of MRIs and poential surgery. You can tell I'm an overworked senior when my first concern isn't the general anesthesia (which I have never done) or the effect on my health, but rather "Ye gods, how will I TYPE if that happens?"
