in under the wire for Happy Birthdays to Trudy & Kara (and I meant to wish the happies all day..I'm not just doing it now so I can feel included as one of the perfect people...really!)

Tep, the tattoo is beautiful! I'm so getting another one this fall if my freelance job comes through.

I have new hairdo:

Also, slightly inappropriate pictures of my big cat and someone you all might recognize:

Lisa has sexy rock star hair!

And does that mean the puppet gets to wear leather pants now?

does anyone here have rotator cuff injury experience? sorry about lack of caps but typing one handed because in a lot of pain

And does that mean the puppet gets to wear leather pants now?

The puppet is wearing Uncle Bud hair-covered pants now. Boom chicka meow meow.

Raises hand (hah). Yep, Kristin. Walking to the parking lot after yoga a few years back, I stepped off the curb wrong and ended up straining my rotator cuff. Did pt for a bit, which helped a lot. It sucked.

does anyone here have rotator cuff injury experience?

My aunt just had rotator cuff surgery this week! I know she had her injury for a while, like a month or so, before she had the surgery. She kept thinking it was just a pulled muscle and it would work itself out.

I'm sorry I don't have any real useful information. I know it must be painful!

suzi anything i should do in the short term? can't go to hospital--no way am i sitting around there for nothing more than some painkillers. i have a chiro appt tomorrow

Poor Kristin! I have no advice, but much sympathy.

Someone make me go to bed. Desperate Housewives is just too damned addictive.

Anti-inflammatories and resting it. Wish I could offer more. I did some stretching, but not at first - so chiro is probably the best step for now. Just getting from here to there.

Yeah, I'd say the same thing. Advil, and rest it. Try to find a way to sit (maybe propped up with some pillows) so that it hurts as little as possible.
