Good morning gents, and Lollie Pop.

My new drone came in yesterday. It folds down small but packs a punch. Between that, my GoPro and my Sony A7iv, I'm gonna head out today and stir up some pixels. I have had coffee and I'm feeling great for now...

Real quick, my shoulder may have a tear in it, but we don't know for sure yet. It could be weak muscle too, but only time will tell at this point. The pain is being caused by not being stabilized and the ball is shifting in the socket. That happens when the tendons or muscles don't stabilize it. The concern about the tear is, the pain happens under complete passive movement as well as under power. My foot is flexing much better though. I still have a very slight limp because the foot doesn't flex enough but it is improving a lot. I have had to modify some exercises to prevent injury because I can't move the way I need. That's okay, I'm getting better and I'm alive. I can't stress that enough.

 

you’ve probably had a few and they’re not cheap but why don’t they order an MRI of your shoulder?.

 

Morning, Woodys!

 

At this point, they can't say definitively and either way, it will heal without intervention. So the take is, they won't order it just to answer a question that I'm already getting the treatment for. I asked already...

 

Russ, I was p!eased with the smoked pork ribs. Used apple wood. The videos I watched said mesquite is best for red meats but can overwhelm pork, chicken, fish.

 

Morning all.

 

Morning, Mick, Lou, and Chris.

 

Well, I just got off the phone with my friend Chad. He's had some health issues in the past and due to a deer last year, lost his leg below the knee. BTK of the left leg. He's also had a kidney transplant, so he's on immune blockers to prevent the kidney rejecting. That has been years. Well, from the amputation, he developed a blister on the stump and would use his right leg to compensate. That created a blister on his right heel, and without the immune system because of the drugs he's on, an infection spread rapidly. He's in ICU and they done surgery to clean the infection out, but it got to the bone. If it continues to spread, they will have to take his right foot. I feel like I'm in a glass box watching in horror but can't do anything to help him. I imagine this is what TLT felt while I was in the hospital. It's a horrible feeling. I want to help him but there is nothing I can do besides be his friend. His GF is there with him so he's had constant support.

 

Wow, Chris. Prayers to your friend.
And I think I have problems.

 

No kidding. I was just talking about how my foot is stiff. Really puts it in perspective. To dump all my bad feelings, a club member went down yesterday afternoon in Austin. He and his wife were there for me while I was in the hospital and I can't get to see him. I'm in contact with his Pres who is with him though.
