When it rains it pours!
I will try make this post light and cheery, despite the craziness going on.
We are moving. We found a bank owned property in a nice neighborhood that needed a ton of work. Probably a little more than we anticipated. It ended up the place needed an entire heating and cooling system. There were holes in the wall, gross carpet, horrible paint, loose staircase, and probably the worst kitchen layout I have ever seen. We have torn everything out. We have a new coat of paint, we will be getting new cabinets, new carpet, and new appliances...but it's still not finished and we are trying to be in before Christmas.
About 2 months ago, I was home and delivering laundry to the girl'srooms. I tripped on my clogs and fell on the stairs. I had held my arm out to brace the fall and crumpled with some pretty intense pain. I brushed it off as a strain, and continued to do all my normal activities. It just was not getting better. I had scheduled an appointment with a doctor about my knee and mentioned my shoulder. She suggested that we also do an MRI on the shoulder.
The results of the MRI came back and I have torn my Rotator cuff! I was not expecting that.
The knee is what it is. Bone on bone, loose ACL,some cartilage floating around. Basically she told me I was skiing on an 80m year old knee! But the shoulder was a different thing. I really though I would be in more pain with the amount of damage. Do you think my yoga classes have helped me? I wonder. I hear of people that can't even raise their arm. I can.
I have to have surgery on Jan.6th. Very very inconvenient. I wont be a able to ski, and I will be in a sling for a month. I also drive a stick shift. The recovery is several months. We are also moving.
Let's see how I swing this one!
