I could think of worst places to get stuck.

Spring is trucking right in around here. One race weekend down and now preparing for the next race weekend.

Lauren has been home from spring break. It's given me the reason to slack off on some yard work, though Melissa takes her back tomorrow....guess thats when I can get back to work since ill be home alone all day.

Nice, yes, but ....

Old Guy!

I've requested an entire box of this for you .....


You'll feel better in the morning after the sun hits your joints, @team bradfield .

It's like the show I saw on cable tv some years ago. "Meerkat Manor". Cold blooded animals look for the morning sun to warm their blood especially on the thin portion of their bellies.

But, uh, i mean really, You're not older you're just better?

Ed

PS - tried the Lobster Reuben yet?

PPS - seriously, congrats. Party on, bro!

Thanks @bama_ed
I have not seen the lobster reuben on a menu yet, sounds good.
Had mussels and clams marinara

The heat and humidity are great for my arthritis

I mentioned it in post #6280.

Key's Fisheries in Marathon (Gulf side - if you find yourself up that way). KF is a marina, market, and restaurant.

Glad you're feeling good down there. I have a neighbor who winters in Key West for the same reason. Carry on!

I did a thing yesterday.

My shoulder has been messed up since before the DIS Meet in November. NSAIDS kept it under control, but I have had pretty bad loss of function raising it up or reaching out. An MRI in January showed much more than the rotator cuff tear i suspected. Yesterday I had the whole thing rebuilt, including fixing the broken collar bone that never healed right and a messed up biceps where it attaches in the shoulder.

I'm in a complete immobilizer for at least 4 weeks. Can't move it at all unless someone else is doing all the work. Probably 6-8 weeks before I can move it on my own. Just in time to drive the MH for GSP.

I have opening day tickets tomorrow and I'll be there. Scalene blocks and pain balls are a wonderful thing. At least until Saturday when it wears off.

Through my season ticket rep, we scored Savannah Banana tickets for April 5th. Tigger92662 and his lovely wife will be coming down from Chicago. Still can't drive or move be arm then, but I'll be in PT and on the road to recovery by then.

Can't shower or do much until Friday, so this is my lovely look until then.

@Teamubr I feel your pain, had RCS 3 yrs ago, not fun

 

[bama_ed]

I did a thing yesterday.

Dude, that's more than "a thing".

I know you have someone special taking care of you and I admire your dedication to Opening Day but be a good patient (hard for you medical types) and heal up before the Gulf DISMeet.

You will want to be able to reach across the puzzle to lay in a corner piece when it falls to you.

PS - and if a foul/HR ball comes your way in the near time while you are rehabbing, let DW glove it.

 

[Part-Time Paradise]

Oof. The brace would drive me bonkers. Heal quick

 

[2goofycampers]

Ouch. I pray you heal quickly. Looks like you'll be sleeping in a recliner for a bit.

 

[jbrostek]

@Teamubr Ouch!! hopeing things heal well and quickly. You keep fixing all the creeky joints, you might actually outlast me!!!

 

[Teamubr]

Thanks everybody.

Denise, I actually have been doing better in bed on my side with the bad arm up on pillows.

Bad news is the pain ball started leaking yesterday and stopped working. They use the scalene blocks and pain balls for the first 3 days while initial swelling goes down. I have passive range of motion I'm supposed to be doing, but with limited pain control that isn't happening. The doc doubled the Oxy and added Celebrex for now. That is making it so I can do the ROM, but I bailed on the baseball game. It is in a rain delay anyway, so probably the better choice. My next game isn't until Tuesday, so that gives me more time for the swelling to go down and start feeling better.

Mine did the same thing on my ankle. The next 72 hours was probably the worst of the pain. Godspeed!!

I pulled the pain block catheter out and feel 100% better. It was clogged and I think resting on the nerve. Just a manageable dull ache now. I haven't tried the range of motion exercise yet, but I think it will go much better than yesterday.

Get better. They still make celebrex? I thought that stuff was discontinued.

 

[Teamubr]

They still make celebrex? I thought that stuff was discontinued.

They do and it works wonders. I have taken it off and on when my hips act up. I was pretty surprised they prescribed it when the nerve block stopped working. Ortho docs have an aversion to NSAIDS. There is data saying they inhibit bone growth after surgery. I wasn't allowed to take any ibuprofen or other NSAIDS for 7 days prior to surgery. For me, they do a better job than narcotics, although I do still have oxycodone. I have cut back on that to 1/2 pill every 6 hours instead of the 1-2 pills every 4 they suggested. I'm able to do my range of motion exercises pretty well and the movement is getting better and better.

I think I will go back to work, remotely, tomorrow. I'm on Teams meetings most of the time anyway. I can do that narc'd up sitting in my living room.

Good to know , I used to take it a bit then I thought it was pulled. I may see if I can get it for my knee. I am still not walking well. And still on blood thinners. Hope you get back to work soon! Feel better.
