i had my 1st rona vaccination last saturday.
i had the one i jokingly call the asteroid xenomorph.. the whole thing was well organised.
i felt fine until the next day.
I'm still on a waiting list.
Here we have Groups 1a, 1b, and 1c before Group 2.
I'm in Group 2 and they're still doing Group 1b.
I'm hoping to get mine within a month.
They've started Johnson & Johnson shots which is just one shot rather than 2, so I'd like to get in on that one if I can.
my husband is going in on tuesday to have surgery to repair a badly torn rotator cuff on his right shoulder.
he is right handed.. he's 51 and is great about exercising and staying in shape.
however, while doing push ups, his shoulder just snapped.
Thanks for that. I feel bad for the guy. He can't even pull the covers up in bed.
He'll say, "Okay, I'm ready to go to sleep. Can you pull the covers up for me now?"
Who wants to have to do that?

He won't go for CBD. He goes to Pain Management for his spinal fusion, so they've had the discussion.

It sounds like the recovery is different for different severities of tears.
He has an appointment with the surgeon at the two week mark to take out the stitches, so we'll verify physical therapy guidelines then.
He has been looking at three separate physical therapy practices. One has a pool which he is interested in. We do have a home treadmill which he is allowed to use after he's off of the prescription painkillers (for reasons of stability).
Mynameislame, that's an excellent idea to buy extra large T shirts. Someone else had recommended extra large button down shirts. We'll probably try both.

I think that machine will come later, but at first there can be no movement.
Well, he's allowed to flex his wrist just to keep the blood moving, but the arm has to stay immobile in a sling attached to his chest. He's wondering how he'll be able to wash it and get deodorant up in his armpit.
Maybe it has to do with severity?
He has a 2 cm tear on the edge, as in, he's nearly torn the tendon completely in half.
Then there's another 1 cm tear 'inline' if that makes any sense.
Now I'm wondering if this recovery is going to take forever.
He's planning to go back to work in 3 months. At least he's still getting paid disability for that long.

Thank you.
It sounds like this is definitely what he needs to keep him moving and healthy.
Chronic pain really wears on you.
apparently , some bright spark has created a new sexuality - super-straight - and posted it on twitter.
it's a new sexuality that means people who are exclusively attracted to cisgender males or females.
it was made because some people are saying you aren't straight if you don't date transgender people.
Although they did get rid of shillings in 1971 when they decimalized their money.
And so 100 pence ( pennies ) was now equal to one pound.
Previously, 12 pence equaled a shilling and there were 20 shillings in a pound. That made 240 pence per pound!
Imagine the mental math for that!

They still have pounds. They've kept pounds. Never went to the Euro.
So maybe they've always been a bit wishy washy about the European Union?
Or maybe it would've cost money to change money.
You know: cheaper to keep 'er.

Thanks, Sea Breeze.
I'm sorry you still are bothered with muscle pain. Sometimes I get muscle spasms in my neck and, boy, that is painful. Twice I've had to go to the doctor to get muscle relaxers and it takes a couple of days to unlock itself.
I really hope my husband is good with physical therapy. In the past, his problem has been working out too hard and ignoring the pain. I think that's what got us here. I have to keep reminding him over and over again that pain is your body telling you to stop before you really do damage. He generally just ignores it.
May I ask how long ago your surgery was? Do you feel it really made a difference?

Yes, I'm familiar with pain management as he's had spinal surgery about 10 years ago. He has a very high pain tolerance, but he was HURTING. He ended up with a Fever of Unknown Origin and had to stay in the hospital for a week.
He doesn't remember this, but he cursed out the phlebotomist, called her a vampire and other choice, no, actually very nasty and vulgar words (that he would never use in real life), and I had to go apologize.
It all went very badly and so I'm concerned. Although, he did heal well and now cycles 30 miles at a time.
I think pain brings out somewhat of a childishness? Not sure of the right word to explain it. I'm afraid he's going to get angry and start swinging, forgetting that's exactly what he CANNOT DO.
He told me to only give him full strength pain meds for the first three days, and then he wants to start cutting back for fear of getting addicted.
It's not like I can't handle this because I've done it before, both with him and both of my parents who were in a very serious car wreck. I guess I'm just a bit unexcited to, in essence, have a big old baby that I'm going to have to play parent for.
And, yes, the doctor put the fear of God into him. He told him if he destroyed his tendon, then it would be like "stapling jello to the wall" to try to fix it again. He got the visual on that!
Thanks for the reply!
