I honestly thought that I would never be in this situation again. I had the surgery last Thursday. The surgeon said that not only did I surprise him by rupturing all of my rotator cuff, but I also apparently threw him a great big loop because of the fall I had in October of last year: the ‘snap’ sound that I heard that were four tendons rupturing.
So here we go again, the months and months of putting up with all the different type of nerve pain that’s getting ready to hit me. The cats are hopefully settled into the new routine of staying away from mom for a while because if you don’t, there’s gonna be trouble.
Sweet Winston was taken recently out of the barn and put back in the bedroom. I know they said that spring is on the way, but I haven’t seen any signs of it and I was getting really worried about him being in such cold weather. So he’s back in the bedroom. I am looking for a home for him for those in Sweet Home, Lebanon or Albany that might be interested. He is definitely a very sweet boy. He is also very accepting of cats, though I don’t think they’re very accepting of him. None of the girls like him. I have a line on one person who wants him pretty badly, but she’s got cats already, as well as other situations to deal with, so we’ll see what happens there.
Concentrated into all this other stuff - being so cold all the time and not having a heater right now - has been another obstacle that I’ve had to overcome. Apparently my heater was throwing out too many carbon monoxide bombs and so they have put it on the expire list; they are trying to put together a new one for me as soon as possible (I hope). Even though spring is just around the corner, the weather tonight is mimicking arctic weather. Nothing spring about it.
So I’m getting ready for the long haul bit by bit. I hope this time I can find more sleep than I could before. What I couldn’t do after the last surgery which, thankfully, I can do after this one is just to make a complete fist. That’s one problem I won’t have. Just take everything that comes with a grain of salt and just take it a day at a time - that’s all I can do.
