Monday, December 29: Dr Stillman, Shoulder Rain ☔️ & Stuff

Happy cloudy Monday, my friends out there in the Internet. Go look up morning with   a sore shoulder. I ate breakfast and then headed out to the Market Frankford line. I’m glad I put an extra money in the card 



cause I had to run out of money on my card yesterday. Anyway, I got the Mike’s around 9️⃣ , which seems to be the only time I can end up getting it there. Anyhow, the young lady who does 

the caregiving did not go downstairs to the trash area because Mike wasn’t sure if she could handle doing that so there are a lot of boxes here a 

couple things I ordered but mostly stuff Mike ordered so I brought all the boxes down. I then had an early lunch because I had a last-minute doctors 

appointment set up with Dr. Stillman at 12:15 PM. I was very delighted that he was able to see me. He’s only around for two days this week. Anyhow, I went 

down there and he took a look at my back and immediately wanted to talk to Dr. Nala, who of course didn’t answer because Dr don’t answer 




directly even to other doctors believe it or not. It just went to voicemail, but he said he would really make every effort to get a hold of Dr. Nala 

and the Doctor Who did the electronic test to verify that I had Parsonage Turner syndrome. I then walked home thankfully it didn’t rain on the 

way home like it rained on the way there. I was dried up by the time. I got the Mike’s. I then did a little more sweeping talk to Mary about getting

new yoga shorts and confirm that I ain’t doing any yoga today and letting my back rest. I do have a massage tomorrow and we’ll see

how that helps. Yeah, I talked to Marion. It’s really unrealistic that I would do yoga today. I would just be aggravating. It’s already aggravating me. Anyhow, I’m gonna work till 4 o’clock approximately


a little after and get my full eight hours in. I did do my timesheet from Christmas when I forgot to sign out. I’ve been good about signing out because the whole signing out with signatures as a pain in 

the butt. Suppose that I’m going to get a bonus for my one year anniversary we’ll see what kind of bonuses is. I’m gonna go to Mary and do an 



Epson salt bath, which should make me feel a little better. Well, I walked out from Mike’s around 4:11 PM and low and behold the wind is gusting. The skies are clearing out. The clouds are swiftly 



moving away. It’s also much colder the high today was 53°. It’s now approximately 40° out. Well, I went back to the Dorchester and immediately got myself an Epson salt bath, which felt really good. Also talked to Donna and Larry. Mary got home. Said it was a good class. I’m heading to the MONDAY Night Beginners meeting. The temperature is dropped 8° since my first got to Mary’s. It’s also a lot windier.

Sunday, December 28: Sore Shoulder. Visiting mom.

Hi. I’m writing to you today to report that I didn’t really sleep all that great cause my left shoulder acted up. It started really acting up after class

because I really did struggle and it looked like I got my wing scapula is happening on the left side. It feels really sore. Took an Advil and rubbed some arnica and got a little bit of sleep. Got up went ahead 

and took the 21 bus to the 111 bus to Riddle Village. I met Dave at the bus stop. He picked me up and we both went in there. We caught mom before she went to lunch. She was in bed and one of the nurses 

there got her in the wheelchair and got her ready for lunch. While she’s in the room, Dave and I did talk to her. After that, Dave and I went to the old pizza place and got each two slices of pizza. That was good. 

We shot the shit. I listen to Dave talk about is adventures at his various workplace. That was pretty fun. It’s now 1:42 PM. I just missed the bus. Yes, the buses replacing the trolley again! And it’s 23 minutes 

till the next one, so I’m gonna sit here at Ocean City Coffee have a coffee and write text messages and look at the Internet by the way I did make contact with both of my doctors and to Larry Nussbaum no yoga today probably no yoga tomorrow either. Well, I eventually caught the Media trolley/bus back to Upper Darby. I got back to my place and just mellow it out for a while

Pat agreed to meet for dinner later on. Eagles managed to beat the Buffalo Bills 13–12. The Bills went for two point conversion in the last second and failed to get it thank God. The offense didn’t show up 


in the second half. Defense did however. Pat and I then drove out the cop beach and it’s their last few days left at that location with the American diner used to be at 42nd Chestnut. They’re moving

to 38th and Lancaster Avenue that building is gonna be demolished very soon. That whole block has been made. It’s unbelievable that whole 42nd chestnut Street area head was completely remade. Pat and Ivan



 enjoyed our dinner together and we talked hung out and he had to go and I then was back to being with myself to deal with the sore shoulders that I carry.
