Medical done for the week
Jul. 21st, 2021 14:06Turns out my orthopedist who replaced my knee and hip only does legs. There are hand specialists, hip/knee specialists, and shoulder specialists. And don't forget elbows. He referred me after looking at my shoulder x-ray 'that's a mess'.
I made an appointment for a month from now with a shoulder specialist so we'll see what he thinks. I'm still not 100% on getting it replaced but seeing my bone on bone socket and ball in the x-ray I'm a little more leaning that way.
Then dentist today. Just a routine but those tend to develop into more bigger appointments that involve an army of people and implements in my mouth for hours. Not today, though. Just a cleaning (one person and all her tools for an hour) and a look around. Nothing to see here. See you in six months.
Otherwise I'm just putting things away and returning my life to its normal self. I did get my bike number two back. It is all set with non-mountain bike tires mounted on a shock absorbed frame with lots of gears. So it is ready to go. I did see it needs some cleaning. Tomorrow is a quiet one on my calendar. I've got to get acclimated again after a week in cool Seattle. So tomorrow morning, I think. Just need to decide trail or road.
