Andy, I'm glad you have a potential "fix" for the shoulder issue, but it sucks that you have to have surgery. I had "micro tears" down one side of my spine that all connected up to make one BIG tear and cause me horrifying pain a long time ago. Its sure no fun, especially when you don't have anything in your life you can adjust to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Planning my day here. I'm off now for holidays and today is shopping/laundry/packing day. Costco run, regular grocery run, vacuum out van, pack dry goods in boxes, find the cooler to pack in the AM, write a "pet care" list for MIL who is staying with the pets, make sure there are clean sheets on the guest bed, and do laundry in between all those chores.
Oh, did I mention the hoards of people who will descend upon the house today? The girls are popular and will be saying good bye to all their buddies who will have to do without them for a week or so.
