The Bad News


I found out today that I must have surgery on my shoulder. It is considered urgent. It will be Thursday or Friday or next week at the latest. The surgeon didn't have his schedule and couldn't get his office on the phone so will let me know tomorrow. I'm dreading this for many reasons but will not get into that.

This truly could have been determined weeks ago and it really irks me that I have to start the process of immobilization again. It will weaken my muscles and physio will be harder and more time will have passed until I'm back to normal. Our medical system sucks!!!

I'm a bit pissed off so short post but four songs. You've Got To Move is considered one of my essential songs. I had two versions up in the past that are gone. Here's Greg Brown, Tracy Grammer and Dave Carter with one fabulous version, Mississippi Fred MacDowall ( my favorite) with one, and Two Gospel Keys with another. I know I have more but am not going to take the time to look. Instead, because it's late, Steve Dawson brings us At Arm's Length.

By the way this photo is minutes before my accident. I had my arms outstretched and was screaming to the gods, "I love my pond. I love it out here." Then that hockey stick that is visible at the very left edge was passed to me.....

We'll miss you and be thinking of you, my dear. I hope you can post tomorrow and let us know when you go in.

I won't be gone long, I don't imagine and when I'm home I'm online with my one hand typing. I can't do much else.

So what else did you scream to the gods Ma? If there is one thing I learned about karma - is it often doesn't take long!! :)

I screamed nothing bad. I was so happy out there. It was the second time I had been skating that day. We were expecting snow and I was excited because I planned to go snowshoeing the next day.
