brrrrr . . . citis . . .

my right shoulder has been barking since driving back and forth from Tampa . . . mostly i thought because i had this wee tendency to grab the wheel in a death grip and hold on tight for the four plus hour round trip. 

doing laps apparently hasn't helped the situation and i finally broke down and made an appointment with an orthopedist.  bursitis!

i shouldn't be surprised.  last time it flared up was in 2003 and not knowing what it was, i waited until my shoulder froze.  at least this old dog only waited seven months this time.

i am happily shot up with cortisone and one of the 'caines.  my ice pack and i are having a love affair of grand proportions and tomorrow i start exercising the little devil.  things are looking good.  and, the sweet man gave me exercises for my hip that is not so happy walking five miles when asked politely.  a good day indeed.
