Results

Well I finally got the MRI results read to me yesterday evening. Of course I had to go back down to the urgent care center and strong arm them in to getting the results faxed over from the hospital so that one of the doctors on rotation could kindly read them to me.

Turns out there are not any obvious tears but there were notes on "sub cortical cysts" in part of the humeral head. My research online has turned up no clear cause or indication as to what that means. Apparently they can occur as a result of certain types of damages and injuries, or as an indicator of various types of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Of course, mainly it seem to be a benign issue that is simply bothersome.

The good doctor that read me my results last night told me he would set me up with an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in shoulders and let him/her explain what is going on inside my shoulder and help me figure out the best way to get through this little pain in the, er... shoulder. I should expect to hear from the office of the orthopedic doctor by the middle of next week to schedule an appointment.

Right now I'm about appointment'ed out. I've got a dentist check up and cleaning to look forward to on Thursday. A meeting with a financial advisor on Friday, and now possible another appointment with a surgeon. Is this really with the 30's are all about? If so, I'm ready to see 40, or is it really just all downhill from here?!?

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome"

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Don't Panic

It's just a facelift. I was tired of the orange and green swirly background. I'm not sure I like this one but it's gonna have to do until I find something more suitable. Sorry.
