A Pain in my…

Shoulder sent me to the chiropractor today. We’ve been working on giving me some range of motion without making me howl in pain. At the end of the session Dr. Cal (who kind of reminds me of Matthew McConaughey) sent me to a walk-in orthopedic center. There, they x-rayed my shoulder, determined that I have some arthritis, bursitis, and maybe even other “itises“ yet to be named.

The orthopedist gave me a shot of cortisone and hopefully that, along with continued physical therapy, will help me get back to my normal wacky activities. All this pain—has resulted in my gaining five pounds, and it’s ticking me off.

I’ll be more chipper tomorrow. Oh, if you need something to read on this cold February weekend, might I suggest a couple of books? Suitable for Framing, a cozy mystery by Lori Roberts Herbst and my own novel, Mayhem at the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort, a quirky road trip story set in east Texas. They’re both available from Amazon and as an ebook on Kindle. And the reviews are really good. It’d probably make my shoulder feel better if you bought the books.

Thoughts While Picking Up a Marble With My Toes


Deep Thoughts Entertained Whilst Picking Up a Marble With My Toes

My middle metatarsal has dropped. Easy for me to say, you think, but my chiropractor has instructed 

Me in a way to strengthen this muscle in my foot that pleases and relaxes me, especially when done

In conjunction with the drinking of a glass of full bodied Merlot. Oddly enough, this stability 

Enhancing exercise when combined with alcohol yields mixed results, particularly when said 

Glass is repeatedly refilled over the course of an evening. Seems steady walking is purely relative.
