One of my coworkers going through the same thing. He was on the stand-up meeting for about 30 seconds.

Hope you're on the mend SCK, and I am certainly jealous of the hair.

That is certainly blacker and bluer. Hope you’re feeling better though.

Thanks for all the good thoughts, boys. I am feeling a bit better, although I can’t see shit out of the affected eye. In a few hours Brian will be arriving from Nevada, and we are going to the Fillmore tonight to see Lucero. (The doc said it is fine if I feel up to it.) I’ll wear a pirate eyepatch and a ball cap.

So, I just met with the doc and found out now I need to have more eye surgery on this Thursday. Woo hoo.

My wife has a girls night out scheduled for tonight so I’m going to get fucking drunk and stoned.

Not your plans for tonight. That’s sounds great.

But another surgery sucks.

I'm sorry to hear this.

Might I suggest you pour a couple fingers of a single malt and drop Sundown on the phonograph?

Sounds like you’re telling him to eyeball that pour. The rest of the advice for Pat is sound.

This is true. I would like to amend my suggestion to include a bottle of single malt (bourbon will do) and a bucket of ice.

You should make a joke about getting a free surgery on your punch card and then laugh really loudly and aggressively for 10 seconds too long.

Sorry bud, that sucks.

Sorry for whining like a broken record, here. But, I had another meeting with a specialist today. Scar tissue keeps forming and messing up my eye’s healing process. So, on June 15th, I’m going to have my fourth eye surgery since early March. And, I’m told to expect at least one, if not two additional surgeries on the eye later this year.

I’m soooo fugging tired of surgery, and not seeing crap out of my right eye. It’s been like this for three months now and, damn… but, it’s kind of fun noting the odd looks I get when I wear my pirate eyepatch. Little kids just give a slackjawed stare.

I used your joke in the recovery room after the last surgery, and I plan on using it again. Got some awkward laughs from the nurses!

So I have a bad right shoulder, but this is new. I woke up this AM with a little tingling/numbness in my right hand, more the thumb to middle than the ring and pinky. My shoulder has the dead feeling it gets when I throw too much or sleep weird, but I haven't thrown in almost a week. My elbow feels a little nerve-y if that's a term, like there are movements where I get that little electric shock, but not where I'd wince, just notice it. Its not really pain at all, just discomfort and annoyance? Thoughts, non-doctors?

This is what google would lead me to believe, but I would expect to have enough pain somewhere to know if it was a pinched nerve in my neck or shoulder or elbow?

P.D.X. · Post by **P.D.X.** » Mon Jul 24, 2023 2:15 pm

A pinched nerve in the neck (cervical spine) will manifest pain/numbness/tingling anywhere from the neck down to the fingertips. Short of going to get PT you could roll out your back on a foam roller, apply heat (hot tubs are good), stretch, etc... anything to loosen up the muscles in your neck/upper back/ shoulder area to reduce the pinch

Yeah it's the shoulder and it's getting worse. I'm getting a second surgery on mine in August. I've had the exact same thing from time to time over the last decade or so.

Also, there's a chance your cpu chair is either too high or too low.

Stick with the 12-6 deuce. Easier on the arm and more effective. Down back and up. Ball to second. Balance. Fall off the cliff. Push. Finish down. Heel to sky.

Yeah that will do jack shit if your labrum is torn past a certain degree

HaulCitgo · Post by **HaulCitgo** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 11:58 am

That would be the method not to tear it in the first place. But probably more like demonstrating that riser from his previous posts

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 3:03 pm

MisterD cursed me. Woke up with a lot of pain in my right shoulder. Seemed like the kind of thing that would stop hurting and let me fall back asleep if I shifted. Nope. Kept me up the rest of the night. Still hurting now, hoping it goes away... I tore the labrum in both shoulders in college and had both surgically repaired after years of surgeons not being able to figure out the issue (didn't show on MRIs until recently). I'm 90% sure I re-tore the left one playing wiffle ball about 2 months ago. Felt it happen, pain hasn't decreased at all. Being my left shoulder, I don't think I'm going to bother having it looked at. Only thing that hurts was swinging a bat that day, which I rarely do anyways, and a few weightlifting exercises I had to stop for shoulder pain before muscle tiredness. The right shoulder is a bigger concern.
