Well, I'm having fun with my left shoulder...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

NOT.

This is the one that got operated on in January. I had a total shoulder replacement.

A few weeks ago, I noticed that something was slipping inside it. Hard to describe. It was infrequent so I ignored it.

Until today...

I'm nearly at the end of my physical therapy, and today I told my PT lady about this slippage. We actually got my shoulder to misbehave, miracle of miracles.

She called my doctor, and he wants to see me tomorrow. I got an appointment for early tomorrow afternoon...

It doesn't really hurt--it just moves in and out as though it were getting ready to dislocate. But it hasn't done that.

Damn, I hope this doesn't mean more surgery to fix it.

I could use a few vibes if you have any to spare....

[mokawanis]

1. Hoping the news is good when you see the doc

Sending good vibes!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Thank you, my dear mokawanis!

I cannot tell you how much I'm hoping for this too.

[CherokeeDem]

3. Oh...so sorry, Peggy..

I hope you don't have to have surgery again. Good luck on your appointment!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I thank you, my dear CherokeeDem...

Me too!

Gawd, I hope not. That would really make a hash out of my summer plans...

[pinboy3niner]

5. Good vibes, Peg

It would suck for you to have to have surgery on the same shoulder again after going through that ordeal once. I hope that won't be necessary.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Oh, you've got that right, my dear pinboy3niner...

It really has me worried.

Time will tell, of course...

Thanks for your presence and vibes here tonight, sweetie...

Will surely be thinking of you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Aw, thank you so much, my dear elleng...

I appreciate your support so much...

[Tsiyu]

9. Sending good shoulder mojo

We have bad shoulders in my family; empathize greatly

Here's hoping it's nothing requiring surgery.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Crazy joints run in my family too, my dear Tsiyu!

Thanks for your good empathy!

I really have my fingers crossed tonight...

I expect he'll try to treat it conservatively.

[pinboy3niner]

14. Bad shouldiers definitely deserve courts-marshiall

We want Peg to have a GOOD shouldier!

[mwdem]

11. Hoping for the best, Peggy.

Good luck!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thank you so much, my dear mwdem!

I really appreciate your support...

[HeiressofBickworth]

13. I'll be crossing my fingers for you

With summer nearly upon us, I'd hate for you to have anything wrong with your shoulder. So, here's hoping you will be out in the sunshine doing whatever it is you like to do without worries about your shoulder.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Thank you so much, my dear HeiressofBickworth!

Yeah, summer's almost here...damn it.

Well, I'm hoping for the best possible outcome, whatever it is.

[Solly Mack]

15. Hope it isn't serious.

Please let us know.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear Solly Mack!

Aw, sweetie...and here you are, wishing me well...

I hope things are coming along really well for you, dear girl.

Thank you for your good thoughts...

I will let you know what my doctor has to say.

[tridim]

18. Good vibes to you Peggy...

My left shoulder blade/back is hurting like crazy, which apparently is a common symptom of QUITTING SMOKING! So I'm fine with it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Good for you, my dear tridim!

I wish I could blame my symptoms on that! Alas, I never smoked.

Thanks for the vibes!

Sending good vibes your way.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Thank you, sweetie...

[frogmarch]

27. Happy shoulder vibes to you, Peggy

I hope that tomorrow your doctor gives your misbehaving shoulder a good talking to, and that it listens and knocks it off.

I'll be thinking of you and hoping all turns out well.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Thank you, my dear frogmarch!

Actually, the appointment is today!

So about 90 minutes from now, let those great vibes rip, OK?

[MicaelS]

28. Hope you get well soon.

I hope you don't need more surgery. Best wishes to you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Thank you, my dear MicaelS...

That is my hope as well...

[TexasTowelie]

30. Good shoulder vibes to you.

At least it misbehaved while you were at the therapist so that somebody can give an objective report as to your condition. However, anything mechanical is subject to failure. Although I expect that it is against your nature, you might want to get in contact with a personal injury attorney and get a second evaluation from an orthopedist after you visit with your first doctor.

I'm sorry that you are dealing with any pain, but you're resilient and you'll get through it. Best of luck to you and please keep your DU family informed because we would miss seeing you here if you have to take a break.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. Thanks for your good thoughts, my dear TexasTowelie...

I do not plan any visits to a personal injury lawyer, and if my doctor wants a second opinion, I know just where to get it. So, not to worry. I know full well mechanical things can and sometimes do go wrong. It's just the way the cookie crumbles.

I'm not really in any pain, thank goodness. It's just that certain motions cause the shoulder to feel odd. I'm being careful till we know more.

And you KNOW I'll update when I can.

31. If there's one place you don't need a follow up to a repair job

It's one that was done inside you surgically.

Here's really REALLY hoping you don't need this, and if you do anyway, that they GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME!

Enough is enough already!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. Ain't that the truth, my dear DFW!

Luckily, my shoulder is out there, so to speak!

I echo your sentiments 100%!

Thanks for your good thoughts...

[woodsprite]

32. Sending good vibes and healing thoughts to you!

I hope they can find out what it is and that you don't need anything major done.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. I thank you, my dear woodsprite!

I'm sure we'll figure out what's wrong.

I'm also hoping I won't need anything major done.

[LiberalEsto]

39. Good shoulder vibes, dear Peggy!

I hope it all works out okay.
