It's a stormy Tuesday, which is fine with me. Even though it makes it even stickier, it does give us a little break from the highest temperatures. At least as long as it's overcast. So, I'll take it.
Post Warranty Blues
So I finally had an appointment with an orthopedic specialist this morning about the pain in my right shoulder. My primary doctor already told me that the x-ray showed a bone spur. Now time to establish a plan to do something about it.
Basically, the specialist told me my problem is ... wait for it ... OLD AGE!! Yes, the same thing all the other doctors have told me about everything else. In this case, the Doc said my shoulder problem is a combination of the spur, arthritis and one of the tendons. More than likely more the latter two. So I got a cortisone shot, a script for a lotion and some exercises. I can do PT if I want, but these exercises should do just as well. So, no surgery. That's good. I now have a plan. Plans are good.
Rants and Politics
I've decided to move the majority of my "rants" and political commentary from Facebook to here. I have several friends who I do not see eye to eye with on many issues. They have been very patient and non-confrontationally silent to my posts, for the most part. But I'm sure my posts are very frustrating to them. For me, I like FB go be a fun place. I will still make my opinions heard, but probably mostly here. That way if anyone wants to read them, one click will take them here.
Today's Earworm
Coming from Casey Corum, "Waiting For You Again," really speaks to me. People have always told me that God answers all prayers. So even if I didn't get a "Yes", no one told me that didn't necessarily mean "No." God's third possible answer might be "Wait" or "Not right now." So I am earning how to wait. Wait for His timing in His blessings. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can look back and say, "Thank God, He didn't grant me my desire" at a certain point in our lives.
Today's Prayers
Of course everyone on my daily prayer list, but especially: Angie, Gigi, Melanie, and Sandy. And, tomorrow being Independence Day, I especially thank God that I am free (at least for now).
