Out of commission

[vincentm]

I did hear back from the specialist and my appointment is next month on the 9th . Was surprised by this . We don't have the best health care and normally this takes up to a few months on hearing back from them .

We in France are supposed to have a good health system (well they tell us so to justify how much it costs...) but it also takes months to get an appointment with a specialist...
I will soon need new glasses and I have to anticipate a lot if I want to have them before 2016...

My appointment went really well yesterday and now know what is up with my shoulder . It's not pulled muscles , not the rotor cup . Turns out it is a pinched tenant and don't have to go for surgery , but I do have to go to physiotherapy for the next month .
Makes me one happy camper ! So no lifting my arm above shoulder height and no lifting over ten pounds which means ...I can sit in front of the bench with no worries !!!

no lifting over ten pounds which means ...

that you may have to put the WNW Gotha on hold??

Seriously, great news that your shoulder issue has been identified and hopefully very fixable

[Vickers]

That's great news, Terri!  It's been my experience that surgeries can cause even more problems than they resolve. So glad your doctor thinks you can handle this with therapy!

[Nigel Jackson]

Great news Terri.

Just remember to be careful when lifting and moving that great pile of kits in your stash.

Best wishes

Thanks guy's , it is a great relief knowing that I will avoid the knife .


No worries Ian , I'll be sure that I will be extra cautious when lifting

One can of beer at a time and you will be fine!

I heard your sigh of relief from my place Terri, it certainly is a load off your mind knowing that you do not require surgery, just time and physio will see you back into full swing in no time.

Hi Terri,

thanks for the great news!

All the best for you and I wish you a quick and complete recovery. Or as the Germans say: "Gute Besserung!"

Cheers.

Small up-date on my arm here , every day it is getting better and better and I have been cleared that I can start doing a bit of yard work  . It has been bugging me big time on not being able to start raking up the leaves . I have a huge back yard which yields 40 bags in the fall and another 30 in the spring .

Easy, kiddo!  Don't overdo it.  Raking a huge lawn all at one time can put a lot of strain on shoulder joints.  I'm glad you're feeling better.  Just take it easy.
Cheers,
Bud

[Nigel Jackson]

Glad to hear about the progress Terri, but like Bud says take care raking those leaves. Our house and garden is pretty much surrounded by scores of deciduous trees so I can sense what you are up against each autumn.

Best wishes
Nigel

As Nigel says, Terri, take it slow.  When we start to feel better is our undoing
quite often, as the wounded part tells us later.  I'm happy to hear of your progress,
though.  Keep plugging away.

Cheers,
Ernie
