III ?]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Dec 16, it will be 5 months since my shoulder-rotator cuff surgery. I'm still not allowed to use my</p>
<p>
chainsaw yet, as of Nov 11. <img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f620.png?v=914d980dd38" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--angry" title=":angry:" alt="😠" /></p>

<p>
  Phys therapy is 3 times a week, for an hour. The surgeon again said my recovery is going excellently,</p>
<p>
and exceedingly well, considering the dramatic tear of the two tears that occured. Not tears, but tears. @@</p>
<p>
  But, I've gone from my wonderful cute Wife moving my arm slightly to start getting some small motion back</p>
<p>
into the shoulder, to reaching as high as I can easily, with my armpit up against the wall.</p>

<p>
  What a great gift, to get back my arm. I'm still working with heavier weights on the pulley machine, and a new</p>
<p>
exercize this week. It's like a 3' boomarang with no curve, and you hold your arm out and twang it back and forth</p>
<p>
for ten seconds at a time. It has to be far worse than waterboarding</p>
<p>
They tease me about being Arnold Swartsnagger however you spell it.</p>
<p>
That's how quickly I have regained strength.</p>
<p>
We imitate him every so often back and forth.</p>

<p>
A few of of the therapists play this video game about being in Las Vegas or something, part three,</p>
<p>
after the world ends, and you have to survive with the basics and meet the right people, etc.</p>
<p>
They swear by it. I don't know. I'd be happier with the nine dollar lone military black ops guy game.</p>

<p>
  My one phys therapy assistant is a super liberal, who seemed to get upset about me mentioning Sarah Palin's</p>
<p>
new show "Sarah Palin's Alaska". As with most libs, he doesn't have good people skills, and he pouted badly.</p>
<p>
  But I have him joking around me now about stuff. He says he voted for ObaMao. I asked him if he was happy </p>
<p>
with having done so, or sorry. He said he didn't know yet, the jury was out, but that was a sad indicator</p>
<p>
after two years on the job. He said ObaMao still has two years to justify being where he is.</p>

<p>
  I look around often while I do my many different exercizes for an hour... I see old folks, young folks, all sorts of folks...</p>
<p>
and I'm thinking I can't pout about my injury, when some old folks have walkers and aren't going to be able to lose them,</p>
<p>
or young folks with artificial limbs work out so happily and strongly. </p>

<p>
  I wish everybody had access to med insurance. But hospitals have always taken folks in anyways if they can't pay.</p>
<p>
But it's way too easy to ring up huge bills, that you have to pay if you can.</p>

<p>
  The hc bill is a gigantic gov healthcare fiasco, designed to get the gov control of another aspect of our American</p>
<p>
society. Then they can tax anything they want. Like, they are now working to tax your health care benefits.</p>
<p>
Oh, yes they are. Taxing everything is the ONLY way to extend the short term life of a socialist system.</p>
<p>
  And don't make me post videos of several members of the ObaMao crowd, like Van Jones, saying what he says about it.</p>
<p>
Or, "Spooky Dude"... aka George Soros, who has been to the WH FOUR FREAKIN TIMES.</p>

<p>
  I have to go watch NCIS again. I think it's a rerun, but they are just as good the second time around. We love that show.</p>
<p>
And I have to get up early and patrol our woods for deer hunters. But I believe the problem is solved, because we used to</p>
<p>
hear the gunshots, or neighbors saw hunters walk toward the neighbors' woods... and now, nothin.</p>
<p>
  And the squirrels are coming back nicely. We'll squirrel hunt this fall.</p>

<p>
  And I think I have to lube the bearings on the big truck, which sucks when you can mostly only use one arm.</p>
<p>
But the shoulder is doing so great it's kinda scary.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/17213/shoulder-injury-update-part-ii-...-iii</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 01:56:33 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/17213.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Thu, 02 Dec 2010 03:13:52 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl></channel></rss>
