Upper Balljoint Surgery Aka Shoulder Replacement?

Fun times, grumble, grumble. It feels like someone took a jack hammer to my sorry ass...

One day at a time.

Remember when my wife was going to her PT secession and being told by them, take a pain pill before leaving home.

My Friend, I really hope this passes quickly for you, I know firsthand the physical agony of such repairs.

I absolutely love your sense of humor, "Balljoint surgery"

Thanks, this is my third major surgery (right knee replaced, laminectomy at L4, L5 and now a shoulder replacement).

Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be roofers. (grin)

Have 'A Question Of Balance' by the Moody Blues playing on my old Magnavox tube amps at the moment, turned up to eleven.

A Moody Blues evening, I can see that. Myself, I've come down with a cold. Discomforts don't compare with the pain of jointwork, but it's still enough to have me watching The Fellowship of the Ring for the first time in a while. Comfort through art.

Hope you're feeling better soon, Don.

Almost regretting the whole damned fracking thing, my friend...almost. If I turn the wrong way this new shoulder has me sobbing on my knees. I can't wait to start PT in four weeks. Think I'll lay in a case or two of Maker's Mark for that.

Watching the 'Firefly' series for the third or fourth time and enjoying some NorCal buds my MAGA neighbor came home with. Funny how this state rolls. Hopefully his grower didn't use all manner of nasty shit on his plants. Mine are completely organic and clean of any pesticides and lab made fertilizers. I like to know what's in my smoke.

I'm about to release an army of Lady bugs to munch on any aphids and spray the plants with some Bacillus thuringiensis to kill off any caterpillars chomping on my flowers.

I'll have to snap a couple pics of my back patio. Everything is stretching for the sky at this point and sprouting buds all over. I may have to get creative soon to keep them from peeping over the six foot cinderblock back wall.

Fond old memory reading this. When I was about 13 or 14 in 1970, I bolted to my older brother's apartment in 7 Corners, Virginia to escape home life and he turned me onto The Lord Of The Ring books. I'd sit there for hours reading the books while playing the Moody Blues on his stereo. The two are now inextricably linked in my mind.

At one point we took the now very collectable and expensive dustcover from his hardcover copy of the Hobbit and graphed it out and transferred it to the long wall in the living room of his rented apartment. Then we took jugs of tempera paint and faithfully reproduced 'The Lonely Mountain' including Smaug in his living room.

It must've taken several coats of primer to obliterate that wall once he moved out.

Patty and I have been enjoying the 'Rings Of Power' series immensely. The Second Age and the Silmarillion come to life. Even good old Tom Bombadil, his yellow boots and Old Man Willow have made a brief appearance.

Cheers, old man and thanks for sparking an old memory of a bygone era.
