Well, the wife is going in for a complete right shoulder replacement on July 2nd, derf. Doc said her shoulder is so damaged that it will be easier to replace rather than try to repair it. Too many reach arounds in the shower over 30+ years took it's toll, I guess! LOL

Thanks, Andy. It's her right shoulder and she's right hand dominant. I've been telling her for 3 months to stop using her right hand for everything and start practicing with her left. It's gone in her right ear and blown straight out the left one. She's gonna have a rough time, I do believe. I'm ambidextrous, so when I had rotator cuff repair done twice, I kind of cake-walked through them. Hers is a lot more invasive than a cuff repair.

Tell Rhea I wish her the best if I do not talk to you 2 before then. don't want to imagine the pain of the physical therapy for her given everything else that is messed up but if she does not do it she will never get the range of motion that comes with something like that. It's waiting there for her but she has to go out and get it.

Please tell her I said to spray paint the word morphine with a circle and a slash on the insides of both her elbow crooks

Haaaaaaaahhhh! That's a good one, derf. With her history, not a bad idea. I'll tell her. And I'm going to be packing my 9mm in the car, just in case someone forgets. Ain't going through all that again.

Your grandmother fell?

Out of the car? At that speed?

Didn't you make her put her seatbelt on and lock the freaking doors?

Seniors die in all kinds of ways, but this need not be one of them. Probably induced a heart attack. She was gone before she hit the ground.

Condolences for your loss

I do believe the speed governor was 124 mph so it all sounds possible.

It is great to know that your grandmother is okay.
