Needed a stress relief from all the crap going on at work and went out and did a 5K hole shot and hit second gear....I felt better.

Oh yeah had to put a new carb return spring on it ($.30 and 2 minutes of my time).

No idea, it's like pulling teeth. Got a call this afternoon from my case worker. Hoping to go see the surgeon by the end of the week. I want this done and over with.

Is it painful? Mine isn't, not sure if I completely tore it or just aggravated it. The MRI from almost 2 years ago indicated a partial tear along with a partial tear of the rotator cuff. Surgeon was all set to operate, "well we'll see how bad it is, may just snip the rest of the tendon and be done with it." That means your bicep muscle slides down to your elbow. I told him to shoot some cortisone in the shoulder and I was out of there. It was the shoulder that really hurt.

I'd already spent a few weeks in the hospital and a few months on crutches from the fractured pelvis. Didn't want to go through months of recovery from the shoulder surgery, I'd had enough.

Hope they get things worked out for you soon so you can get on the road to recovery.

It was VERY painful when it happened. Still very sore, and hurts bad if I move wrong. My arm is in a sling most of the time, I pack pillows around it when I sleep. Pretty much have limited use of my right arm, swelling in my right hand.

Sounds so painful, I hope it heals quickly for you.
