Up early, before six, which is unusually early for me.
I had an 8am appointment with my shoulder surgeon.
I had my last cortisone injection last January eons ago.
My shoulder has been begging for that long needle.
Both shoulders need to be replaced, but that would interfere
with my Karate training, so I have opted for cortisone as long
as possible. I have been on about a 4-month regimen until
COVID19 changed my ability to be allowed go to the hospital.
Today the usually packed hospital parking lot was doable.
I was in a mask (thanks Mei) and gloves on a rainy morning.
A pretty girl met me at the door and guided me to a table
where I had to pick up my own sticker. Then I stood
in front of contraption that scanned a red dot on
my nose and determined my temperature and IQ?

Then I was free to go check-in and pay, before going upstairs.

I really like my smart, young surgeon, Dr. Sodl.
He is used to me by now, and my crazy questions.
I once offered up my considerable adipose tissue in other areas
and moved to pad both shoulders. He laughed for a long time.
Then he said, "Okay but how do I keep it there"?
Today I had a new idea. How about going in through a small hole and take off that bone spur? He had a quick answer: we can't it grows back, quickly! If you were closer than the correct social distance you would be able to hear my shoulder ...

Lovely photograph. I love reflections. I have several that have been sent to me over time. Most of them are reflections in the windows of skyscrapers. :-)
I hope you feel better now, Jacki. Without pain or at least nearly no pain. I understand that you don't want to replace your shoulders as long as possible.
The "wave" is really incredible.
Wishing you all the best!
Thanks John, that is an old photo but the reflections and light in Bali was stellar. I too am drawn to reflections in architecture. Did you like the Wave?
Thanks, Elenor, so good to hear from you across the globe. How are you and your family doing? Are you quarantined? Sending you love and good wished for health and happiness.
