Rotator cuff? That sucks

Rotator cuff? That sucks

Yarp. Surprisingly, it's not painful. It was for maybe the first 48 hours, but after that not so much. The part that makes it like torture is I can't get comfortable enough to sleep, no matter what I try. Not in the $1,100 recovery recliner I bought (still do vege out in it all day), Not in my bed with a 45° medical wedge pillow, six regular pillows and two body pillows. The best I can do is pop two oxys since I don't need them for pain and drug myself into some kind of blob. But those are almost gone.

Oh man, that’s brutal. I was just shy of having to get my rotator cuff operated on. It’s amazing how much you realize you rely upon it working to be comfortable in any position.

...The part that makes it like torture is I can't get comfortable enough to sleep, no matter what I try...

I feel your pain (so to speak...)

I'm a side sleeper, and I have that nasty arthritis in my shoulders & hips. Well, and my hands & feet, lower back & neck, pretty much allllllll the arthritis. So yeah, sleeping is a matter of short batches till the left side hurts, then swap to the right side and sleep till the pain starts again. rinse & repeat all night.

ordered another set of $20 rear glass side wings so I can remove the current ones and mock up the rear wing and see where i need to cut and modify the side wings to get it to sit nicely.

switched up the front badge and made it black with a white underlay. im honestly not sure how i feel about it yet, but the blue line is gonna have to go once someone said it was the "thin blue line edition" grille lol.





heres some photos from a meet a few weeks ago

car looks great, i too am not sure about the badge situation, and as a guy who has done many different badges, i'm not sure what to suggest to make it better lol. its the flat/non 3d badge right?

 

[mwoodski]
