The last
month has been somewhat pain-filled. I’ve
been waiting for the Outpatient Surgery service to inject my shoulders with
cortisol and lidocaine. Both shoulders
are torn and both display arthritic degradation. This causes them to hurt all
the time while motion increases the pain beyond the static levels. I’m not a surgical candidate. It has been 4.5 months since my last
injections. Because of the pain, sleep
has become degraded and less satisfactory.
I drove in this
morning and let them shove long, sharp, needles into my shoulders. I let them pump oily, viscid medications into
my shoulder joints. For about 30 minutes
this morning, my shoulders did not protest every motion. I hope the analgesic effect hooks in
tonight.
In other matters,
Gloria was invited to display her metal/stone creations at a juried art show,
taking place today at Tusculum College, in Tusculum TN. I drove over this afternoon to show the
flag. I had a chance to compare her work
to that of other artists. I’m impressed
by the quality of her work. She’s becoming
rather adept at some of her jewelry production.
I hope she makes a sale or two for her time and trouble. But being accepted for the show speaks well
for her talent and imagination.
Shabbat
Shalom
