Ouch!!! My Shoulder!!!

So my shoulder just isn't getting better. In fact, yesterday it pained me more than it has since it started hurting. Sleeping was ROUGH last night too. I'm on the fence as to what to do about it. Here's the issue: I'm pretty sure it's a torn labrum but to get it checked out again after so many years (2015) I know I'll have to get an MRI with contrast. The last time this happened, I was in so much pain from the shot of contrast that it made me cry and I don't want to do that again just to find out that I have a partially torn labrum and need PT. Here's the other issue: I'm worried that there's something else going on. What if it is worse and needs surgery. Beause I can tell you that if I move it in a certain way, it feels like it's about to pop out of joint. Ugh! So what I might do is try some exercises specific for a labral tear and hope that things get better. We'll see.

I emailed the lawyer yesterday about the crazy parent trial telling her I was available on July 12th. Well, apparently the judge needs all of those involved to be there and because some aren't available on that day, they need to put in for a continuance. I then need to let her know which Mondays I'm available so she can coordinate it with the other witnesses. What a pain in the ass. I don't see this happening this summer since, well, it's summer and people have vacations planned. Annoying. And then, if it goes into the school year, I'm not taking a personal day or a sick day for this shit!

So my plans for today: It's going to start raining around lunch time so before then I need to mow both the front and back yard (it's so long) and walk the boys. I'll probably walk the boys after I finish here then mow the lawn. Then maybe if it's still not raining, I'll take a bike ride. I don't want to get on the elliptical because by the time I finish with the lawn and pup walks, my feet will be killing me. We'll see. 

I started a new (to me) series yesterday: Luther. It's a BBC production with Idris Alba and SO good! If you have the ability, watch it! Really good! Plus Idris Alba is handsome! 

Dinner tonight: I've got some chicken marinating (sort of a Mexican marinade) and I'll grill that up later and then make a Southwest salad. 

Did I mention that I think my family room TV is dying? It's got this bright spot on it which looks like the sun and usually isn't bothersome because most times it just looks like the sun is shining in whatever I'm watching but I expect other shit to start happening to it. I'm not completely annoyed by this because my current TV is older which means I can't get a lot of apps I like to use on it. I have to go through a Roku which is annoying because it's slow and just one more stupid remote to have to use. We'll see. I started looking at options last night. Looks like the a 65" with all the specs I want is about $900...not too terribly bad but just one more thing, right?

Okay - time to get my boys walked and mow the lawn. Happy Tuesday! Later!
