(Caboose) Re: How's my June Buddies?

[Guest guest]

Hi , June Buddy reporting in. I understand your frustration

with the bands, I figure I'll be in then until the braces come off.

I see the OS and OD Monday. The back pain (in shoulder blade area)

ended up being a rotator cuff problem. So I'm leaving on Tuesday

with a theraband to continue exercises - not enough time to get a

shot in shoulder, so will have to tough out the pain at night for a

few weeks while on trip. Just trying to figure out how to get the

suitcase in rental car!

I'm glad I'm seeing the OD as the teeth on top are getting too much

space between them and my top wire is sticking into the back of my

mouth (ouch) so am using big gob of wax on it. Still biting lip,

too. I see the OS after the OD and have a bunch of questions for

him. I'm having a lot of problems with right joint. Almost locks

in morning and pops and hurts sometimes. Also, it seems to

bulge out when I open the jaw, left one doesn't seem to to that.

I'm wondering if laying on my right side for two weeks at night is

causing a problem. Can't lay on left shoulder due to rotator cuff

problem.

Always something!! And on top of that the Ophthamologist said now I

have a cataract on left eye, too (already have one on right eye).

The steroids for back and surgery probably didn't help!!

Oh, well it could be worse.

Hang in there, we'll all get to the end of this braces/surgery road

one of these days.
