Sue is now resting at home after successful shoulder surgery earlier today, the first steps toward recovery.
Thanks for all your well wishes & prayers, they certainly came in handy when we needed them most.

April 4, 095/366 (1556/1827)- I have a bunch of students that eat lunch in my classroom just to avoid the crowd in the lunchroom, including these two that I don't even really know. I was amused that these two came in injured this week; the one girl broke her wrist playing soccer and the other girl had shoulder surgery from a gymnastics injury. I had them pose for me here although I now realize that I have had several other injuries pose in this exact same spot in front of the same background . . . time to branch out some I guess.
Also funny that none of my boys ever get injured?
Smae strobist setup also I guess- 2 SB900's camera left and right through diffusion umbrellas, SB900 with small diffuser overhead. Fired TTL with Nikon CLS from SU800
A year ago today, a surgeon took my shoulder apart and put it back together, thus starting a time of intense pain and physical therapy that lasted months longer and hurt worse than I expected it to.
I thought I'd dig up the pictures and look at them. It surprises me that it hardly looks like anything at all in them--the bruising is negligible, the stitches not very intense. But I couldn't use that arm at all, for anything, for months. I learned how to write left-handed. To use my camera left-handed. To perform bathroom functions left-handed. (That was the biggest challenge--just getting my damn pants off to take a leak was a nightmare.)
The other day I tried to hang on the chin-up bar at the gym. I couldn't do it for more than five seconds. Before the surgery, I could do actual chin-ups. A year later I can't even hang from the bar. It's interesting, the ways it's still messed up in there. I can do a handstand, but I can't hang.
My clavicle and sternum are still seperated and it hurts every day, particularly when I wake up.
I hope very much that next year, on March 9th, I'll be able to do chin-ups.

I am using an interferential stimulator, a treatment in the management of post-surgical acute pain. Luckily I can say that my pain is not too bad, except at night. I am not sleeping well at all.
I stayed at my mother's place for the first 11 days so that I could sleep in her recliner. I'm now at home in my bed using a bedrest with pillows in order to sleep sitting up.
Stitches removed today and butterfly bandages applied. I had right shoulder rotator cuff surgery on April 26, 2012.
For the past year and a half I’ve had problems with my right arm. As time passed I was less able to use my right arm and had more pain upon using it. I attempted to get back into salsa dancing, but was unable to comfortably do the turns or any movements with my right hand in the air. When it became difficult to reach the steering wheel with my right hand without assistance from my left I had an MRI.
It was shocking to hear that I needed surgery. I never expected that. Since my trip to Ireland was already planned I decided to go ahead with my trip and have the surgery upon my return. Too bad I have a tendency to ignore pain, not go to doctors and hope for the best.
Pictures taken during my shoulder surgery, which repaired torn ligaments, fixed the torn rotator cuff, shaved bone, and stitched the ball back into the socket. Thank God for Percocet.
I've been trudging to physical therapy twice a week, every week, for almost four months now, and I've come to see it as a burden, something that hurts, that takes a lot of time, that I don't want to do. My therapist is wonderful, but the very fact of the amount of time it's taking, and the slowness of my progress, has been frustrating.
Today, it struck me that I'm really looking at it the wrong way. What I ought to feel is grateful: grateful that I had the time and money to go on the ski trip in the first place; grateful that when I got hurt, I lucked into finding a good surgeon; grateful that my insurance company has picked up the tab for what was an expensive surgery and physical therapy that has stretched far longer than expected. I'm lucky to live in a first-world country where I have access to medical care, where a bad injury I sustained won't cripple me for life.
This sculpture is in the lobby of the place I go to see the surgeon and have physical therapy. It was done by Tim Foley. Every day when I come out of physical therapy I do a double-take because the shapes of the surgeons are so life-like, standing so still in the silent lobby. The first time I saw it I got the willies, knowing that a probe like that was going to go right into my own, non-wooden, full-of-nerves shoulder. But it doesn't creep me out anymore. The sculpted surgeons are performing their art--the art of healing.
I like this sculpture a lot.

I have to wear this for Lord knows how long after my surgery (on Thursday). It looks like some sort of deep-sea creature washed up on a beach, waiting for someone to throw it back into the water...
M is reading over post-surgery instructions while I lay in the bed, waiting for the knife.

When I am all glum and down about my shoulder surgery, M sure has a way of putting things in perspective for me.
I had scribbled "Dr. Cha, Feb 21st 2:00" on the whiteboard so I remembered my next appointment. After that was over, I didn't bother to erase the message, so M modified it slightly. And then I laughed. Hysterically.
