A little update...

...on the "fun" I've been having, that's partly the reason I haven't updated for quite a while. (At least that's my excuse.)

After eight years of increasing pain in my left shoulder from what seemed to be tendonitis from an injury when I was still working, I finally got an MRI last week. It turns out there's a tear in one of the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff. (Surprise!) At least it doesn't go all the way through, or I might not be using that arm at all, instead of mostly just having a lot of pain after the fact. ("Why the hell did I do that...two days ago?")

I'll be seeing an orthopaedist this afternoon. I might need surgery (eeek!), but it would sure be nice not to have to live with this anymore.

Thank you <3

my uncle's gone through 3 of them

Eeeek!

they had to reattach the muscle over a hook in his shoulder

Do you mean they had to put an actual hook in? o.O

They're all a bunch of overused dollies that needed to be restrung.

I really like that image. I'm an old dolly! My mom is going to love that.

Good pain, hah! But, yeah.

From what I heard, it was a small surgical formation implanted in the bone.

Dolls used to be strung together from the inside to make them more articulated.

Oh, honey, there is good pain. Reeaaaalllll good pain. If done right.
