I just got back from my (VERY PRETTY YOUNG!) rheumatoligist, she looks like she may be at least 20! I figured she was one of those child prodigys that finished college at 14! Now I want y'all to know that I did not forget my southern manners, when she asked a question I said either yes mam, no mam, or no excuse mam! All joking aside she was an excellent physican, she was real gentle when she twisted my joints. My wife liked her a lot, said she was real sweet and CARING, and listened very well. She looked over my bloodwork and examined me, and said she is sure I DO NOT HAVE rheumatoid arthritus! Some of you may not know about it but that is some really bad stuff. Now I did get some not so good news. I apparantly have damaged my left and right rotator cuffs. SO now I know why when I raise my arms up or reach back I have excruciating pain in my upper arm muscles. Some of you may remember my mentioning that my wife was eyeballing a 3 WHEEL BICYCLE! Well the plot thickens, back in Jan. I was out deer hunting and when walking back to my 4 wheeler I got on a slanted slick spot, well I wound up doing this Fred Flintstone foot thing and wound up totally horizontal in the air and the ground jumped right up and slapped me. Well I was carrying my trusty muzzleloader and I was busy protecting it more than me and when I landed I may have stressed my right shoulder a bit. Now for the reasoning behind the bike wish. When I was riding out of the woods I came on a place that had the old ruts filled with water, so I kept my 2 right tires out of the ruts to the right on dry ground, turns out those were some VERY deep ruts my left tires went in, My 4 wheeler's left side went way down in the water and I thought it was going to turn over ( wifey gets very ill when that happens to me)SO I'll just nip this little rollover in the bud, so I bail off to the left. Yep I was carrying my BE-loved muzzleloader in my arms again so this time old mother earth jumped up and gave me a little kiss on the left side. I know y'all are concerned by now and I have to report that the gun is FINE! Didn't knock my scope off, but I guess I'll have to suffer a bit over it. She (DR. Menon) reccomended I see an orthopaedic surgeon and get them fixed. Well that puts me in a little quandry, which surgery first? Do y'all have any idea if I can handle my old carcass after a T2 - L5 fusion with two injured rotator cuffs? AND then I have another little problem I put up the required $500.00 deposit with Dr. Hey, if I wind up having to cancel my surgery date less than 1 week out I forfeit that. I just found out today and we all know how long it takes to get an apt. with some doctors AND I am going to go to Semmes Murphy Clinic in Memphis Tn. to get this taken care of. I can not blame Dr. Hey for requiring a deposit as so many times folks will miss their appointment. My biggest problem is that it is getting worse every week. We didn't know what was wrong ,my primary care doc doesn't have much hair left to pull out, it has started to hurt me when I push up out of a chair. When I squated and raised back up in Dr. Menon's office the nurse popped in and asked are y'all cooking popcorn! I am starting to ramble again, oh yes did I mention the arthritus in the right hip that has started hurting pretty good, may I introduce Mr. Osteoarthritus! I rolled my shoulders and Dr. Dr Mennon reared back and said don't do that.
I hope y'all got a few chuckles I have and feel a little better now! I feel guilty as I feel I have dumped my problems on MY SCOLI BUDDIES but I really know y'all don't mind! Maybe it will help take your mind to a better place if only for a few minutes. My DEAR LOVING WIFE CATHY has not fussed about a thing I have written this evening! (Bout got her trained, took me from 1975 and I've about got her there!) This is a quote from her "in your dreams " and "there went your 4 wheeler key Little Boy".
She has taken to callin me that (I figure it is a term of endearment!). She is gonna get me some lineman's boots with spikes for xmas!
