Thanks JoAnne, didn't Santa treat you well???

The artist is Wei Liang, we have 3 other paintings of his and he has always been one of my favorites. He's based in Seattle, here is the galleries info on him:

Ah geez and I thought I was bad scheduling hernia surgery on the 16th - get well soon, car/racing season is coming.

Any chance you two will be at the Daytona 24? I'm taking my dad as a father/son bonding deal. Should be fun!

Not this year. I'm still waiting on the doctors to read my MRI and let me know if I'll need surgery or not. Plus I have to go in on the 17th and have the Dentist finish up my root canal. It was a "special" one that needed to be done in two steps. Soooooo there goes the month of January and maybe Feb!!! Sorry to hear about your surgery. Those hernia jobs ain't no walk in the park either.....

Pedro, that's Robert doing his best "What I did on my summer vacation" pose. I can post mine as an avatar if you'd like. I think you guys would enhjoy it more...

sorry to hear about the shoulder Jo. i tore my right one playing baseball a few years back. not fun at all. never went with surgury though since it wasnt necessary if i wasnt going to be playing again.

did they inject the dye into your shoulder and do an arthroscope with that long *** needle to look at the damage? that was certainly alot of fun


hope youre feeling better soon.

No they did an MRI. I'll know on Friday how bad it is. It feels better today as long as I don't move it. Really, Today I can pull my own pants up without Robert's help. He still has to help me put my tops (and bras ) on since I can't move my left arm higher than my waist. What a pain............. Yesterday I was so medicated that I can't remember anything that happened after the MRI. I didn't know what we ate for dinner, what we talked about or the fact that I called my cousin TWICE about the same thing. I don't even remember being on the phone. I know I was on the Computer. What the heck was I typing anyway???? Sheeze.....

Sorry Mark for highjacking your thread....

Went to the Surgeon today and he said the MRI did reveal that I tore My Rotator Cuff. However, where and how it tore was in a place that can heal almost 100% on it's own with LOTS of rest followed by Physical Therapy to make the surrounding area strong . If I don't rest I can be in for trouble down the road. I'm going to Listen to the doctor (who is very cute BTW) and rest it for 20 days and then start therapy.If I'm a good girl I'll be able to do the PT at home, if the pain is still bad (not too bad today) after 20 days I'll have to have more intense PT in the office. Better than surgery any day...

BTW HARRY Hope you had a HAPPY BIRTHDAY yesterday!!!!!!!!

Mark... sorry again.... I'll bend over for a cyber spankin' if it would make this hijacking okay with y'all......
