Yoga Doing Its Job?

Have I mentioned my hurt shoulder? As you may or may not remember, several years back I was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff in one shoulder and a torn labrum in the other. The tears weren't too terribly bad (I think 40% in one; 50% in the other) and PT helped plus there was no way I was going to get surgery for only partial tears considering the recovery for shoulder surgery is awful. Anyway - I've not had pain for a long time. I think I can chalk a lot of that up to yoga and fitness. 

Last Saturday, however, while at PIB, I woke up with terrible pain in my left shoulder. I didn't do anything that I can remember I just woke up and it hurt. And it's hurt ever since. I hadn't been on a regular yoga routine so I decided to start it back up again. And today (knock on wood) I woke up in a lot less pain. Hopefully that will continue but I'll also continue with the yoga in the hopes that it goes away totally. 

Yesterday was nice. We went to Raeburn for a little get together and pizza. We got there around 1:00 and hung out until about 5:00. So good to see Cullen...hopefully it won't be as long next time we see each other. Christmas maybe. 

Today I'll be getting ready for my trip south tomorrow. I really only need to finish up laundry, do some grocery shopping and pack. Unfortunately it's going to be raining on part of my trip at least which I hate. However, once I get farther south into Kentucky, I should be able to drive out of the rain. Fingers crossed because I don't want to drive through the mountains in the rain. 

I'll probably get up early tomorrow (around 5:00) so I can eat breakfast with Jim, exercise, get the boys walked and hit the road around 8:00. That will put me at Mom's around noon. 

What else? It's my first real day off for summer and it's downright chilly. Not that I'm complaining really but this summer is really starting off slowly. 

Oh, the cicadas. So I mentioned that Jim and I went to a party on Sunday in Amberly which is just about 10 or 15 minutes away. There, the cicadas were definitely louder than at my house but they weren't awful. At Raeburn? They were near deafening! I mean LOUD! However, they weren't a menace. They were flying around a bit but they didn't bother us sitting outside on the deck so that was good. I'm sure it's not the height of them yet since they've only been out for about a week...we'll see.

And that's all I've got. Time to get my yoga on. Happy Tuesday! I'll post tomorrow and I'll most likely post through the week...I plan on taking my computer with me. Later!
