    I figured it was a shoulder because I have known too many people who've been athletes or labor workers who's shoulders just decide to dip out. You know that kind of pain, over an extended period of time I swear is what kills people. I've seen folks in their 60s leave this mortal coil from bone on bone. Augh. Even just the though gives me the heebs.

    You know going into this, especially with the current drug climate (have no idea where you're at - just guessing the US) - it's really good to have a solid plan. Cause you might not have enough pain support, and you know where people go when that happens. And then you flop and fuck up. I knew a guy once who was on one of those knee scooters and I don't exactly know how but he ended up falling off and bashing his knee then having to redo the surgery and doubling his recovery time. So yeah, please take care of yourself. But also you know - pills and alcohol are the ingredients for a bad time. But also access to things you need (iffin' you're a regular nicotine user and not a smoke while you drink kind of person) - might have to shift while you're in bed. You know, like thinking about grabbing a vape for the time being.

    You're gunna be fine though, I can feel it. You've got a solid head. So all the best, and you've got this.

    (p.s. - on the delay thing - if it's the medical system, it's just how it is now a days. If it's personal stuff - I hope you've got it covered. Either way, setting yourself up for this big todo and it being delayed is a mess. But I hope it's on your terms. GL again and kick ass in PT you BEAST!)
