SHOULDER TO THE WHEEL
GP-Jim, told me that it would take six months for my left shoulder to heal.
I had fallen on it around the middle of June and it was pretty badly bunged up.
Well, it is six months and he was right!
Amazing.
It is still a little tight but I take pains to use the arm to reach and to do other tasks. I am right handed so this takes a bit of thought.
I get occasional twinges if something tugs on it.
But my right shoulder twinges too. It is hard to tell whether a twinge is an injury twinge or an age twinge.
I have a lot of those age twinges in various joints.
I normally pay no attention to them—the price of living to a ripe age happily paid.
I have been through this rotator cuff stuff before. This is the 'worst' that I have had meaning the most prolonged.
I am glad that it is over.
A nice holiday present.
