Pretending All is Well

I had my appointment with my doctor to review my MRI. The good news is that I don’t have a rotator cuff tear. The bad news is that there is still enough damage to warrant surgery. Sigh. We’re going to wait until after Dr. M & I move this summer – no sense being any more useless than I already am!

Besides the pain in my right arm & shoulder, & the ever present (but much less severe) pain in my left arthritic hip, I have another pain that I inflicted on myself. The night we were packing to go to NC (two weeks ago today, in fact) I dropped a soft drink can on the kitchen floor. It started spewing everywhere. I ran to pick it up, slipped on the wet floor & landed BOOM on my tail bone. OUCH. I don’t know when I’ve experienced such pain. And it continues – that’s an area of my anatomy that I use quite a bit so I’ve noticed. It hurts to sit. It hurts to get back up again. It hurts to roll over in bed. For heaven’s sake – I am falling apart!

I’m tired of talking about my ailments – so this is it! Until I have surgery – you’ll hear ALL about that for sure. In excruciating detail. Until then I’m going to do my physical therapy, take my pain meds & pretend that all is well.
