My babies are happy campers!!

I brought them some happy news yesterday.. Due to problems with my shoulder, I am not returning to work tomorrow. My Captain would rather me stay home and resolve the issure than come back and have problems and have to get off. Getting off for something like this is very involved and costly and even has to be reported to the Coast Guard and tons of paperwork is involved. I am being scheduled for a MRI and we will go from there depending on what it shows... if anything...X-ray showed nothing. I am tired of covering up the problem with anti inflamatory drugs only to have it come back soon as that coarse is run. It is time to find out what the problem and FIX it!!

My babies knew it was time for me to be leaving since I had my luggage drug out of the closet and was readying the house for my departure and they have been clinging to me more than usual. They are so sweet and miss me every bit as much as I miss them when I am gone. Soooo, I will be around a bit longer but hope I can get back to work soon!

I am so sorry about your pain & discomfort of your shoulder.. However so glad you will be around a little longer to chit/chat..

Oh, I hope you do get a permanent "fix".

This gives you time to check our Clomicalm on Boo and see if it helps!

And I hope YOU are all better soon...

I Have Been Having More Problems With My Back Which Forced Me To Retire Six Years Ago So I Know How Frustarting It Can Be To Be In Pain And Not Able To Do Those Things That You Used To Do So Easily Years Ago.
I Am Hoping That Its Temporary And Not Chronic.
Meanwhile You Get To Stay With Your Cats At Home. Thats A Win Win If You Are Covered By Insurance.

Thats A Win Win If You Are Covered By Insurance

Thats one of the many benifits I have INSURANCE! Don't know just yet how much (if anything) that this will cost me for that MRI though.. Never had one before. They finally called and it is scheduled for first thing Friday morning. I am to be there at 8am...

This has bugged me this since the middle of April. I faked my way through the whole last trip with that shoulder and nobody noticed. I gave it time to heal on it's own, then tried treating it at home and not using it, nothing worked so it was time to go to the doctor. I tired 2 of their Rx's and it is time to get a better look and see what it is if anything..
