What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu, RNYers?
Morning kids! Gotta make this quick today. Remember how I said we had a huge storm? My parents are still without power and will be all weekend, so they are coming over today. I need to do a little housekeeping before I catch the 6am train!
Photo Friday Pics are of me and my BFFs in the shop doing some woodworking projects.
Final product...we are making pens! This one is Grim's. I forgot to take a pic of mine before I gave it as a gift.
Accountability: Perfecto! First time in awhile.
QOTD: Do you have a good system for storing Tupperware? I am super OCD about mine and I have a pretty sold system. I am pretty sure Tupperware is Grim's nemesis--it just Maes him so angry, haha, so he leaves it out for me to put away.
Ooh not exactly sure what to say I am eating today. We have a work outing for lunch, and since my parents will be staying over, I will probably take us all for dinner. Best guess:
B: Protein Coffee & 1 Egg Bite
S: Greenridge Beef Stick
L: ??
D: Tacos??

I've been up since 1AM because my shoulder pain was pretty intense. I went to the doctor to have my MRI read and I have several partial thickness tears in the rotator cuff. I meet with the surgeon on Monday. I also had my third shot of cortisone and I know it takes days to feel the effect but today I feel awful. Glad it's an in-service day and I just have to sit.
Not much going on this weekend that goodness.

This in-service day will be a miss... they all are. I will be stuffed into a high school classroom with teachers from across the county and because I am on a team of two, and my teaching partner is currently acting as the guidance counselor, I will be alone which makes for a long day. I do have a stack of papers to grade. :)
Oh, and your pen, I received one last year for Christmas from a friend. One of the best gifts ever!

When I had a rotator cuff issues, I opted out of surgery and "healed it" using acupuncture, wraps, support, and physical therapy. It took me close to 2 years but no surgery, and full range of motion. But ...I started acupuncture 1 years after the incident. With no acupuncture first year, physical therapy and cortisone shots did not really help.
In a meantime - kinetic sport tape may help with supporting the joint. Plus wearing support sleeve while I sleep.
Google "kinetic sport tape appication for rotator cuff".
It can help with the mobility and pain.

Rotator cuffs are tricky. A friend of mine who is a surgeon told me it takes about 10 months to heal with surgery he also said it take about 10 months to heal without surgery. My brother used a chiropractor and my friend had the surgery. Surgeon was absolutely right it too about 10 months for both of them to heal. Good luck with whatever you decide.
