Left Behind

I had an MRI this morning. So that’s one more experience I can cross off my list of things to do before I die. I won’t get the results till I see the doctor next week, but from the way my recuperation is progresing I’m hopeful he will tell me to just keep taking it easy for a few more weeks.

My shoulder is still very sore but I’m managing on over-the-counter analgesics, ice, and rest. I don’t wear the sling all the time and I’m starting to be able to move my shoulder a little. I even managed to brush my teeth with my right hand the last two days. Even though I can manage pretty well left-handed there are some things that just don’t feel right with the non-dominant hand. Brushing my teeth is one. I’ll spare you the details of another, but there’s a clue in the title….

  1. lol, a sense of humor is always beneficial to recovery. good to see you haven’t lost yours.

    didja fall asleep in the MRI or was the clanking too much? i think i have fallen asleep in them more than once.

    I zoned out a little, but I wasn’t comfortable enough to sleep in there. ~Tim

  2. Oh, my.

    Glad the MRI didn’t traumatize you. Overmuch.

    Nah, it was a piece of cake. A claustrophobic, noisy, uncomfortable piece of cake…. ~Tim

  3. All I can say is ouch. I lied. That’s not all. i also want to say feel better soon. Now I believe that is all.

  4. Ouch. I think I’m going to have to have an MRI of my shoulder soon. I’ve injured my rotator cuff and I’ve been living on Aleve for a couple of months which isn’t helping.

    I hope you heal up soon and that your results don’t show any significant damage!

  5. Tim, I’m sorry to hear you are damaged! :(

    I’ve had an MRI and an ambulance ride too.
    We match! :)

    Too bad we couldn’t have both won a million dollars. That would be a more fun way to match! ~Tim

  6. You have a bucket list already?

    I hope your shoulder gets better quickly. Both my folks had rotator injuries and I know how much it sucks.

    And thanks for the virtual cake!

    I don’t really have a bucket list. It’s just that when I have an experience I don’t really want to repeat I like to say I can cross it off the list of things to do before I die. [and you're welcome!] ~Tim

  7. I had an MRI done on my knee and I was so thankful that I didn’t have to go all the way in. I hope they’re able to figure out what’s wrong.

  8. Wow, I am sorry you were injured.
    Several years ago, I had rotator cuff surgery, it was a long recovery.
    MRIs and ambulance ride … neither are fun.
    I never knew I was a claustrophobic until I had one. UGH….I now know that I am.
    I hope you are on the mend.
    Take care and have a good weekend.

  9. I do hope your shoulder is back to normal soon. I just read Becky’s crappy day and I hope you aren’t referring to something in that area in your title. Have you thought about purchasing an electric toothbrush?

  10. Oh, I like your million dollars idea–let’s do that next, shall we?! :)
