besides being dead, I've some terrible news for me. I was in rehab for a rotator cuff tear. I basically had done all the hard work and was basically pain free, but I still couldn't do bench and it would hurt some while working out. I had full motion of my shoulder. I saw my orthodpeadic surgeon and he advised rehab and if tyhat didn't work, we would do an MRI--but i couldn't get the mri before rehab. It was my 3rd trip to rehab. we had been going about 20 miles an hour (so to speak). The rehab guy turned it up to 100 miles an hour in yesterday's session. I complained some with it hurting but we continued. Finally, on the 6th exercise, I heard a pop. It didn't really hurt, but I could no longer do the exercises. He put some ice on me and I left after about 20 mins. Later that evening my bicep was really hurting. I looked at it and there was a big buldge at the top of my bicep with swelling. I put ice on it until bed. I started looking into my symptoms and I met every symptom for a completely torn bicep off of the tendon. There's really only one way to fix this and that's surgery with 4months to a year of rehab to bring it back. It won't get better on its own and my bicep will be permanently deformed without the surgery. I'm about to cry. I have one of the most demanding dogs in the world and only one arm with the possibility of surgery and out of commission for quite a while. I have an appt for tomorrow to confirm this, but it's almost a for sure thing it's a complete tear. This really sucks. I was leaving for the west around march of next year. I know I need to see the doctor before crying, but I literally meet ALL of the symptoms for a complete tear. I'm not giving this dog up. Whatever it takes. I waited 40 ... years for this. Have a great day.
Oh Pepper I’m so sorry to hear about your shoulder, prayers for the absolute best turn out for you. 
I stop by from time to time. I hope life is treating you well.Good evening everyone
Wow didnt know that 5cardstud was still around here!
Here's what it looks like. Actually the pic makes the bruise look lighter than it really is. I did this yesterday and look at this thing. After further research with Dr. Google. I watched a video by an orthopedic surgeon. He explained if the muscle detached from the elbow--you're in real trouble and surgery is a must or your arm will never function properly. If the muscle detached from the shoulder, most people will be alright without surgery; in fact, he said quarterback Brett Farve had his cut before the Superbowl to give more arm motion. He said if it detached from the shoulder, one would have a big bulge at the top of the bicep and that's what I had. You guys know I never share personal tragedies, but I'm finely starting feel comfortable in this place after 15 years. lol
Good evening everyone
We’ve got Bela, she’ll be with us until Monday. Supper was shaved beef sandwiches and chips. Either tomorrow or Saturday we’ll probably give Bela her choice of takeout since we didn’t see her on her birthday.
That looks awful Pepper!
