I THINK I NEED TO START A SECOND BLOG

I just need to come up with a catchy name for it that pertains to the subject matter that will define the new blog

FROM HERE TO RECOVERY

THE EDGE OF KNIFE

THE AGONY AND THE THERAPY

You get the idea.
Whatever the new title, this new blog will delve into the amazing world of screwing up a body part and take you through the quagmire of medical forms,
endless doctor visits, MRI's, operations, recovery and therapy.
Not really going to add another blog, I barely can come up with enough crap for this one.
Over the past few years I've learned more about medical procedures than I ever wanted to know. I had an MRI on my right shoulder last Thursday and have an appointment this Wednesday with the same orthopedic surgeon who did my left rotator cuff surgery. I'm hoping he has a different option other than surgery, but I don't hold out much hope for that.
The rotator cuff surgery was rough, it was a lot worse than the cervical spinal fusion I went through.
Being right handed isn't going to help matters. I can't imagine life as a lefty for the next few months.
My fishing buddy and doctor gave me a new nickname, "Ortho Mark". Funny guy!
At least Obamacare isn't in full swing, if it was I'm sure the death panel would have to review my case. With my track record I'm sure they would come to the conclusion that I'm not a good investment and recommend I be turned into Soylent Green.

So you are single-handedly propping up the health care and insurance industry.
