Dentist today
Posted on June 26th, 2008 1 commentSo today I go to the dentist. I get a full mouth debridement because I didn’t followup from last year. WTF was I doing last year around this time of year. Oh right, we were about to have our second son come along! Anyhow, in addition I get two crown preps and ONE filling. All in one visit. This should be fun.
Well major dental work requires me to be on something to calm my nerves. I already have anxiety problems. A couple of years ago though I had an endoscopy on my esophogus. I woke up in the middle of it. NOT PLEASANT AT ALL. So that further mortified me of having people stick their hands in my mouth. I get pretty jittery when sitting in the dentist chair
So they prescribe me valium. Seriously, without it it’s like trying to give a cat a bath. Another reason I’m doing several things today. Hit me while I’m drugged. -
Shoulder Update
Posted on June 26th, 2008 No commentsWell I went to the ortho yesterday. The prognosis remains good. X-rays show nothing wrong with me bone structure. YAR! He gave me some specific exercises to do for strengthening the rotator cuff. That’s pretty much the #1 way to avoid injury to that area.
While many heavy lifters focus on how awesome their deltoids look, they often completely forget about the small group of muscles that make up the rotator cuff. I wasn’t even really aware of how important it is. Now I know!
