I wonder if BK has the start of a "frozen shoulder" going on. I went through that with my right one several years ago, and a couple of years after that ran its course and returned to normal, the same damned thing happened with my left shoulder! (I was just thinking about those a few days ago for some reason.)

Mine started as a soreness when I'd reach too far in one direction or another, and it just gets steadily worse...until it starts getting better, which can take a few months. Yes, months. Happily, the second one went through its process a little faster than the first. I'm trying to recall if this made the affected arm feel weaker than the other, and I believe it does do that, if only because your movement becomes so restricted because you'll yell in pain (not an exaggeration) if you do something to force the shoulder to go farther or do more than it wants to.

Quick return to normal shoulder VIBES for BK!

Went and bought some of the recommended by Jeanne cream and have applied it. Hoping it helps because this is really becoming tiresome and frankly it's making me nauseous, too.

Pain will do that. Shoulder and arm vibes!!!

DR DanM's post reminded me that when i was in grad school there was a wonderful bakery in Oxford, OH. when we worked late on a production and staggered out of the theatre around 3:30am, we would all go to Beasley's Bakery, which kept its back door open so that the early morning bakers could arrive. We would go through the kitchen into the store to the little area with tables and have chocolate milk, coffee, and the unsold donuts and baked goods which they sold at half price. If we were really late, we could have fresh donuts. Ah . . .

I could almost taste it and smell the aromas!

I remember Mom making donuts. They were spectacular. Freshly glazed and still hot from the Dutch oven filled with oil.

Pardon me while I wipe away a bit of drool from the corner of my mouth.

Yum!

Favorite L.A.-area coffee shops:

Ships
Van De Kamp's
Copper Penny
Parasol
House of Pies
Ben Frank's
Norm's
Sambo's
Du-Par's
Delores Drive-In and Delores West
Tiny Naylor's
Beverly Hills Cafe (La Cienega just north of Wilshire)
Coffee Dan's (I came in on the tail end of its existence and the memories are disappointingly vague)

Oh my, this is depressing.

I'll stop there. If that many flowed off the top of my head, think of what I must be forgetting. And that just represents a few years in L.A. There are many in my other "home towns" whose names I won't necessarily remember. Okay, one of the all time great ones: Wolfie's, in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.

Take a look down this page showing jernts from around the country, which I happened on at random. Heartbreaking.

Back from hearing Joyce DiDonato, mezzo-soprano, in recital. She's an opera super-star, and frankly, it was just an astounding experience.

She got five standing ovations, and sang 3 encores, ending with "Over the Rainbow."

Nothing better to hear music performed or sung live. The music goes right through you and resonates every bit of your body. The definition of thrilling.

Lots of nervous energy today thinking about tomorrow's medical tests. Trying not to be nervous. But anything medical makes me anxious after what I've been through with the lymphoma.

Here's Dr. Gernon, who was my surgeon twice, at the beginning of my cancer journey, and recently with the negative biopsy:

He's one of the most down-to-earth surgeons I've ever met. What was an added bonus is that he saw me at my worst, so he could compare that to where I am now.

Everyone I know that has had cancer gets nervous before tests. The level reduces over the years.

I've become sensitive to many things since cancer became part of my experience. Some foods no longer taste good to me. I still have a sweet tooth, but not as much. I have candy here that I bought months ago and its still here unopened or hardly touched. Sometimes things are too salty. I hardly salt food that much any more.

Watching stuff and trying to relax and not think about the shoulder - not sure if the cream is working - three times a day, so I'll do it again before sleep.

I've started watching a BBC mini-series called Dancing on the Edge. It's about a black jazz band that becomes a sensation in England back in the '20s. It's the same time as the jazz band story that was in Downton Abbey in season 4, but this one seems to be headed to become a mystery.

Love the music. And a great cast with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jacqueline Bisset and John Goodman among others.

Finished with my viewing and am shocked that we are on page four. This will NOT do, but apparently will do.

Dan must have had an early bedtime before his tests.
