Mom is much improved, but is not allowed to bear more than 20lbs on her affected side yet . Ortho PA said two months no weightbearing in a skilled care facility. We see the ortho again for her on Tuesday and get an official update.

My shoulder surgery was 2 days ago. I am progressing real well.

Went to audiologist and ENT doctor today…... pretty sure playing rock records at full volume in my youth had something to do with this...

Shoulder surgery went well and my range of motion is improving nicely, continued moderate pain pains. All good.

Mom, not so good. She developed a MRSA infection at her incision cite. Pic line with IV antibiotics for a month (two more weeks). Hoping to get her into assisted living. Going on tours this week. I am not certain that will happen. She is in decline.

at 71, as I roll downhill, I can see it approaching, but I still have the energy to push back...

When I was young and rolled downhill, that would get me dizzy. But I'd get up and walk a bit wobbly back up the hill and do it again.

That might explain some of the characteristics of who I am now and what... umm... ummm... I forgot what I was saying.

OH! look a squirrel!
