An 8 inch bone-in ribeye sounds pretty good to me right now...
I've gotten a lot stiffer, the pain has been radiating down into my muscles. They said I would lose strength and there would be some stiffness and that is the reality now. The exercises have become not only more painful to perform but more essential for me to keep up regularly.
Although I treat my shoulder with cold therapy, the warmth of a hot shower has been a welcome treatment and more of a comfort. I sleep better but seem to be back to those old tense sleeping positions which do not help so the heat seems to ease that overall shoulder, neck, back pain and stiffness.
Surprisingly, my shoulder still bears the bruising from where they scoped it. Some of the incisions seem to have healed and faded some but the one in the front hurts and is just plain ugly. They will not entirely go away but then at least I will have an interesting line right? "Hey want to see my scars?"
Week Three Lessons Learned:
- Watching the Food Network not only makes me hungry but makes me realize I suck at cooking
- Heidi Klum is annoying as hell. And why do models stand all pigeon-toed and wonky
- You can pretty much get any TV series you want with On Demand, including channels you don't subscribe to - for free
- They killed off Lady Marion? WTF?? ~Drew help me out on this one please
- I have been watching entirely too much television
Lame list, I know but there really isn't much new this week.
I liked this blogthing; it was spot on for me.
You Think Best While You're Driving
In order to be able to think, you need to be able to have time to think. Problem is, there isn't a lot of time for that in your life.
When you are driving, you are finally able to let your mind wander. And it wanders to some pretty interesting places.
Depending on the conditions, driving can make you feel elated, relaxed, or even frustrated. All of these varying emotions spark a lot of revelations.
While the thoughts you have while driving may have a lot of noise in them, there's definitely some insight to be found.
Once again, I love your quiz. Got the same result, which didn't surprise me. Even when I'm driving somewhere I do NOT want to go, my brain seems to like it.
ReplyDeleteI think models stand like that because they have to or they fall over. They're hardly human anyway.
It's good to hear you're making progress. Are you going to have full range of motion?
LOL I don't think 'do you want to see my scars' works on anybody over the age of six...
Models stand like that because their skinny little legs aren't strong enough to hold up their bobbleheads.
ReplyDeleteHey, it works on me! I am always fascinated by people's scars.
Apparently, I think best outdoors, which makes total sense for me.
Glad you're feeling better. Hopefully the pain will subside some soon. :(
S.B. They don't know what my range of motion will be but that is the plan. Although considering how little had (I could lift my left arm about 90 degrees and could not reach behind my back at all) anything is an improvement.
ReplyDeleteMao: I was tempted to draw my scars on the image i uploaded in this post. I am feeling better although today...not so much :(
You could always come up with a good back story for the scar, like "when I was with the CIA" or "when I was a photojournalist for Time magazine" or something :P
ReplyDeleteAt least what they said is going to happen is happening. It may be a pain, but its supposed to be there for the time being.
I'm glad you are feeling better...
ReplyDeleteHopefully the pain will be gone soon..
I love the foodnetwork, but it does makes me soo hungry!
if you don't like the scars you can always disguise them with some make up... or maybe like G_s said you can come up with a great story to tell!!! :D
Take care!!
goodbye_sun: I love that idea about the scars! I admit I felt pretty good the first week so developing pain over time did surprise me. I got totally knocked for a loop yesterday and medicated myself to the point of being comatose. Never again.
ReplyDeleteS@ndy: The food network depresses me. I will never cook like that. Ever. The plates look so pretty, like works of art. Makeup on the scars is never going to happen...I hardly wear any to begin with so taking the time to hide the scars...not happening! LOL!
And I am dying to know how I ended up with a backlink to Cherie's post...
ReplyDeletethose backlinks are crazy. And if you wait a couple of days, it will probably disappear.
ReplyDelete...and so it did...disappear that is. fascinating.
ReplyDeletegayl, ive come to your blog to catch up on your stories, where shall i begin? ~xtinabobina
ReplyDeleteOh gosh xtina that is a tough question to answer...it dates back to nearly 3 years of work. Sessions is the current storyline with overlapping threads in Rising Above, Passages, and Chameleon. There is a table of contents as well as bios and summaries that might fill in the blanks. I hate sending anyone to the beginning mainly because much of my very early work makes me cringe.
