Shoulders, etc.

As you may remember, last August I had a goat that didn't want to get off the milking stand. I gave her a tug which she didn't like. To show me her displeasure, she jerked my left arm which sent a horrible pain from my shoulder down my arm. If you have been following this blog, you know the "rest of the story." Well, this past Monday at 9:00 at Holmes Hospital that got "fixed." Apparently, the goat did a "good job." According to the Doctor, I did partially tear my rotor cuff. They had to remove a bone spur and part of the bone the covers the rotor cuff along with scar tissue. I walked out of the hospital a couple hours later with all sorts of wires and tubes attached and immediately went into physical therapy. The prognosis is that I should get about 90% of my motion back - so that is good news. Today is the first day that I have felt like I have returned back to the "living." Thank God for legal drugs!!



I do have sad news to report. We lost Kallie, my best milker, this week. Ever since she miscarried, she hasn't been doing well. She was losing weight. I had planned on taking her to the Vet once I got back on my feet, but I guess she couldn't wait that long. I am going to miss you, girl!!
