MMP back-up in case no one else steps up

Oh, and I forgot - my SO fixed ALL the spyware on my computer! He’s a keeper, all right! And Swampy, I meant to apologize to you for putitng “opposite sex” in my birthday thread, thanks for answering anyway. :slight_smile:

Just back from the ER. I separated my shoulder… :eek: :eek: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

I know you have to separate eggs for some kinds of cakes, but I can’t imagine what recipe requires you to separate your shoulder! Seriously, sorry to hear that, Bob…it sounds really painful.

Like… dislocated? What does “separate” mean here???

OUCH! Dang, Bob! Be careful, and feel better soon!

Is it a rotator cuff separation? Hubby had surgery 3 years ago for it. He was in a lot of pain before the surgery, but he’s perfect (ok, his SHOULDER is perfect) now. Good luck.

Ouch Bobbio! Hope it’s all better real soon. No more acrobatics, ok?

I don’t know the gory details yet. I know that it’s an AC separation, and there’s mention of ‘grade 3’ (which I suspect is a measure of the damage done) on the diagnosis sheet.

What’s really bugging me (besides not being able to use my uber-dominat arn too much) is that I’m supposed to go see the same orthopedist who told me 6 weeks ago that I’m too old for martial arts training… :dubious:

Not dislocated. The care sheet I got says to treat it like a sprain, and I think it’s damage to ligaments and tendons.

I told the doctor, “Doc, it hurst when I do this!” So the doctor says, “Don’t do that!” Ba Da Dump! :wink: Sorry, bobbio, hope it’s sumpin that’ll heal up all quick an all. Maybe Yoga?

My favorite Xmas movie was on last night – A Christmas Story – and even though I actually own the DVD, I ended up staying up an hour past my bedtime to watch it.

fcm, do you have any new house plants? I can’t help but think that all that vomiting equals poisoning but then IANAV. Glad you’re getting to come down for Xmas with your baby.

Cold here. Only 49 degrees. :eek:

Tupug

We had no internet yesterday!! It was awful! Can’t do work without the internet and can’t goof off because there’s no internet to surf! How’re you supposed to get through 8 hours of THAT?? :eek: :eek:

Anyway, to catch up on what I missed:

FCM, I’m really sorry to hear about your kitty. Littly Lily and I extend our sympathies. It seems to be a bad time for kitties - one of my coworker’s kitties died while at the vet’s last Friday and another coworker’s kitty will probably be put to sleep this Friday. Very sad in all cases. :frowning:

Happy belated Birthday, Mika!!
Sorry I missed it yesterday! I really really wanted to come here and wish you a happy birthday. Stoopid internet.

Sorry to hear about your shoulder bobbio. Boy, this isn’t a good week for MMPers. :frowning:

When I turned 40, I was showing someone how to gain a full lotus position, and heard (and felt) a loud CRACK! from my knee. I went to an orthopedic guy the next day. He was looking over my chart after examining my knee, looked up, with inspiration, and said “Here’s the problem! Your warranty has expired.”
So, VunderBob, my friend, you need to check that shoulder warranty, it may have expired.

I think that’s so funny I might have tipped him when I left. :slight_smile: But it also wasn’t my knee.

I just had to renew my subscription! That means I’ve been here a whole year! Wow, it went by fast. Happy anniversary to me! :stuck_out_tongue:

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TAXI!!!

Is it time for some TMI? I feel yukky. I have the runs. And I’m at work. Every 30 minutes or so I have to go potty - I’m afraid I’ll break the toilet!

This sucks.

No…you’ve got it wrong; it “blows”. :wink:

I’m sorry, really I hope you get to feeling better. It’s bad enough having the runs, but having them at work is awful.

Bobbio, I’m sorry to hear about your shoulder injury. I hope things improve quickly and without surgery.

I’ve got nothing exciting to add. I lead a dull life.

I’m wearing my horrible plaid pants to class today, and I really wish that the black coat that I ordered would have been shipped here instead of my permanent address. Then I would match more, assuming that I had gone and bought new shoes to match the black coat, because the only black shoes that I own are dress shoes, which might not look so bad, but I’d feel horrible about not buying new shoes with a new coat.

Well, that’s one stereotype shot to hell.

Happy Birthday, Mika. Sorry I missed it yesterday.

Hehehehe. Ana gets a week-long birthday party on the SDMB…

I really, really have to start working on this paper now. But I don’t wanna. pouts

Going out to see Rent tonight!
