I'm okay... I'm sorry I worried you guys

I usually post early in the morning, but I've been sleeping later, and I had an appointment with the physiatrist at 10am Monday, and an 8:45am appointment with the shoulder guy yesterday.

I updated the physiatrist on everything going on. He would like me to do PT in the pool again, but I won't because being in a bathing suit would leave the terrible scars on my wrists and left arm exposed (I don't mind the PT seeing them so much as the other patients in the pool). I told him that the radiologist who read the CT of my abdomen I had for my kidneys remarked on the "scattered degeneration of the visualized skeleton," and he wants me to get him a copy of the CD so he can look at my hips and back. It's a pain in the ***, but I'm working on it.

The shoulder guy diagnosed me with rotator cuff tendonitis. I have to go to PT. He had trouble turning my neck in different positions during the exam, and it caused upper shoulder/upper back pain, so he said that a lot of the pain is probably from my neck, too. He is going to send a note to the neck ortho (who I see next week) suggesting he give me another injection in the left side of my neck. I think that would be the third on that side. Maybe the second. I can't remember.

Mood-wise I'm doing fine. I'm not thinking about anything I don't want to either, which is a very good sign

I am exhausted, feeling weak, and am in a lot of pain tho. I'm sleeping a lot. Hopefully if I get enough rest, I'll bounce back from all the crap I did for Thanksgiving soon. Hopefully, that's all it is.

I'm going grocery shopping today. I'm leaving the laundry until Friday.
