Arms and the Man, part 2
Toe stitches out. No problem, and the cut is already nearly healed. Toe still curled, so I need to pull it up with tape for a couple of weeks. Should have had the surgery a long time ago.
Arm surgery set up for mid June. Should be mostly functional by first week of July. I could have done it a week earlier, but that would have been only 4 days after the colonoscopy, and I am paranoid about coming back out of anesthesia, even after being told "there probably won't be any problem." Couldn't get a probability estimate, and there is a difference between 1:10 and 1:10,000.
Researching the shoulder issues. It's hard to find out much detail because totally inoperable tendons usually include really bad pain. I have weakness, and shoulder gets sore after working over my head or lifting lots of book boxes. (Or, this snapped tendon issue behaves almost exactly like the achilles--happened some years ago, and the rest of the stuff in the area took up the slack).
Thus, the third year when I have to schedule stuff in advance, and the stuff is all medical. But so far, that stuff is getting fixed.
Unless something else goes wrong, no more posts on this subject until June. And that is a good thing.
