Had my renal ultrasound yesterday. When I went to turn on my side, I hurt my shoulder really bad. Now both shoulders are screwed up. Don't get old please. It sucks.
Breakfast - Protein bar
Lunch - PB&J sandwich (Meals on Wheels didn't come until 12:15; so I ate something while I waited. I couldn't wait to eat MOW as I had my appointment.)
Dessert/Snack - Pumpkin spice muffin
Dinner - Meals on Wheels - Turkey breast, stuffing, sweet potatoes, peas, roll, cranberry juice, Bing cherries
What did you eat yesterday?

@MarieCoyle I heard that recovery is rough and takes about a month and a half.

Yes it is. I wish I hadn't hurt my shoulder though!

My son has had to have shoulder replacement surgery for both shoulders. He said it wasn’t that bad, that the surgery and the recovery sure did beat the pain in his shoulders.

Yes, getting old sucks. I'm sorry you hurt your other shoulder. I hope the pain doesn't last. Do you have any Icy Hot or Asper crème?

@LindaOHio ......One of those creams massaged into the area may give you some relief.

My husband has a ton of tubes of that sort of thing that we haven't thrown out yet. I have pain pills that I can take; but they don't help much.

@celticeagle The problem is I keep re-hurting it every time I have to get up from my chair.

@LindaOHio - When I went to see the doctor he immediately suggested surgery, that of course I refused. Who is taking care of me if I cannot use my right arm during 40 days?

I keep rotating it so it doesn't stiffen up. I will have to check online. Thanks.

@LadyDuck Yes, I heard that recovering from shoulder surgery is really rough. I won't have it done either.

Sorry about your shoulder.
You would probably benefit from a chiropractic appointment. Hmm. Bacon and eggs,tuna salad..hot dog and corn.

@snowy22315 I was rotating my shoulder to keep it from getting stiff; and I heard a snap. Maybe that will help! Thank you for the suggestion.

Oh, you can get old, just don’t feel old.
The usual for lunch, one of those egg white & potato mixture “breakfast” things with corn tortillas mixed in for dinner. Applesauce, yogurt, fiber!

@LindaOHio — oh, no, I usually don’t “feel” old. Just my body occasionally decides it wants to rebel against my youthful mentality.

The day you can figure out how to get old without feeling old, you will be a billionaire.

@FourWalls My mind isn't the problem...too much anyway...it's my body. I need to check into an auto repair shop and get an overhaul.

Sorry to hear that....I am with you on the shoulder pain. I have a bad shoulder myself. Can't lift it to even put up my hair; that's why I cut it short. Hope your shoulder feels better soon

Did you see a doctor about yours? I don't want X-rays etc. because they probably would want to do a joint replacement on my left shoulder; and I hear those are pretty rough.

@LindaOHio Nope, never did. I am sure it is probably the rotator cuff and I'd need surgery. Joint replacement? Doesn't sound fun either

I'm sorry that you hurt your shoulder while getting your ultrasound. Wish there was a way for us old folks to get these done without having to twist and turn in all different directions.
My kids bought me a tee shirt that says "I'm tired and everything hurts" They laugh but I wear it with pride 
Last night we had chicken (again) with potatoes and veggies. We've been eating so much chicken lately I'm going to start to cluck
