The wife doesn't want to walk to physical therapy this morning, I think I can talk her into it.

It's up to34°F, sunny, and little wind, it's a nice winter day, in fall.

It's been rough... Given the puppy wants to walk around 6 AM every morning, I've had to choose each morning whether to brave it in shorts and a t-shirt, or to grab the light windbreaker from the closet. Brrrrr.....

No worries though, it'll be 77 and sunny later.

Well I was w-r-o-o-ng,we got 9" hip high in some places and I'm not done.The bottom wrap around plate that covers the gears and clutch plate comes loose and snaps back.So I'm McGuyvering the damn thing with self tapping screws that fortunately i had on hand and improvised ramp from old underlayment from the kitchen floor and some cynder blocks - cursing and swearing,cursing and swearing.Still not done and my neighbors blower isn't working and we're still getting blasted,on top of that they are breaking in some rookie plow drivers who have left literally a ton of snow in front of most of the cult-a-sac.Finishing some gruel.powering up and back at it.The rain turned to snow making this wet/heavy/difficult - I see Yuengling in my future

Received Old Man Winter's 1st bitch slap of the season,appears about 4"-5"s and down to 25 deg.Looks pretty damn neat in/on the woods/creek.Going out shortly of course wear a mask/scarf and not for Covid reasons.Hope it's like this the 24th-the 1st 😎
25 degrees isn't mask weather

I imagine the neighbor womenfolk complain whilst yer out in the open

We had a pretty long walk, and had lunch at our favorite Cafe.  They have been slammed of late.

The Italian place is closed for lunch Mon-Tue, it's over near the physical therapy place.  I have one more PT to do next week, but baseball was cancelled.

It's not bad outside unless you get trapped between buildings where the wind gets funneled.

They can't see squat with the windows frosted up and half the time I'm doing their drives so somehow they deal with it - plus I'm weaing a mask.It's when I'm wearing speedos in July that the torches and pitchforks come out

I had my first MRI back in July on the shoulder.  The MRI place is next door to the surgeon, so it went smoothly and I got the results quickly.  I got the actual MRI on CD before I left the office, but I could not make anything of it.

If you need rotator cuff repair, that is what the wife had, and it's no fun.  Mine surgery was a lot less severe and I'm 85% or so now.  I'm better off than I was presurgery in fact.

good to know

they didn't offer a CD, just said my doc would have results in a few days

if I don't hear from my Doc by Friday, I'll call the office Monday and inquire.

hopefully, my shoulder doesn't require the full deal, but it will be what it is.

I'd like to be able to swing a golf club by the end of April, but.....

I have a cracked glenoid labrum in my left shoulder and the specialist just gave me a steroid shot - I was hoping for surgery to get some time off of work.I guess it's their policy to get up to 3 shots before undergoing the knife.Shoulder isn't bothering me but cartilage doesn't get any better either
