more shoulder....

3 PTs in the last 4 visits, due to scheduling, etc. They're distributing the limited hours evenly among the still working PTs (a couple have taken furloughs, the first one I saw had non-COVID pneumonia, one broke a thumb playing catch with his 10yo, etc), and the one I'd been seeing most recently is now off on Fridays; and as I am good at symptoms and feedback and flexible about working with different people, I get bounced around. I don't really mind - they keep good notes, and eventually someone's gotta figure out what's wrong. Today was a Report Day, so more evaluations, and a note back to my doctor. PT thinks there may actually be a partial tear in one of the muscles in the back of the shoulder, based on the notes and my reactions to tests he did today. He may ask the doc to request an MRI, as I haven't had one done on that shoulder in 15 years or so. (A partial tear is one that doesn't require surgery....) Following a electro-stim trigger-point attempt to break up a stubbornly tight muscle, today's exercises were really specific and small.

J's been in A2 with K since Tuesday. They're here now, and will be driving to Howell to catch a Wings of Mercy flight sometime tomorrow. Apparently the plane is in Howell tonight, and as we're actually closer to Howell than A2.... (due to roads, it takes about the same time to get there).

It's cold today, and looks like it will remain so into next week. I am so ready for it to warm up and stay warm.
