The series of early morning appointments last week and this (M, F, T) has netted me a diagnosis of "not bursitis; probably tendonitis, *might* be early tendonosis. Meanwhile, PT and meds as necessary." If PT doesn't help, they'll have to ultrasound the joint to find out why. (Tendonosis is degenerative, tendonitis is just inflammation.) Xray shows mild arthritis and a tiny bone spur, but nothing else. Sigh. Don't want even more exercises in my home exercise plan -- I already need a chart to keep track of which ones I do when.
In music news, Monday's FCB rehearsal was hard. 100 minutes of sightreading might be good for the brain, but it's hard, too. A different guest conductor than we usually have (this one from the flute section, not the low brass like the last two) was also tricky. New-but-old trumpet player still being doofus -- we set chairs for the entire section, you Do Not add your own chair. "but I wanna sit here!" "your section leader wants you to sit *here*. Deal." Livingston's rehearsal was also hard, but mostly because my brain was still tired from Monday. Taking a week off from both bands is a good way to make everything harder.
Damp and rainish today, and I forgot to get birdseed yesterday when I was out. :( Maybe I'll stop at the coffee shop and get something hot to drink.
