It’s been a tiring and painful day.  

I had a follow-up with my palliative care doctor and the orthopedic surgeon today. Turns out that I have tendinosis. Not tendinitis, of which I've heard. I've managed, yet again, to find the rarer and less usual form of a condition! I also. have (or it may be related) a torn tendon. He thinks that it's a repetitive stress injury daring from before the surgery, caused by my over compensating for the weakness in my legs by using my shoulders /arms to grip and thereby put pressure on my left shoulder. It's amazing how the body manages to compensate for all kinds of conditions.  I must stress that this is not the time for Dr. Google addicts to came to the aid of the party. While l take my energy to recover from this very painful shoulder, I’m going to ask them to focus on keeping my body together.. The doctors joked that I've got a larger team than a formula one race car, since I've got so many specialists..  More details to come, as we develop the plans,.

I’m going to have to pay attention to my puppy. I’m  being glared at by a schnauzer who is of the view the he is treated differently — just look at that expression! This was tonight, when he was being denied a share in my cheese on toast! The is a very unhappy puppy! I can bear him complaining  that he's becoming a starved little dog who will fade into nothing because I'm neglecting.

He’s unamused by life’s amusements when he’s denied cheese toast. 

Good night, before I’m reported  for animal abuse.
