What's a labrum?

The shoulder joint has a cuff of cartilage called a labrum that forms a cup for the end of the arm bone (humerus) to move within. Well I just found out that I have torn mine. I do not know alot about it at this point, except it does explain the severe pain I have had in my left shoulder and arm for two weeks. I see an orthopedic surgeon on Monday and will let everyone know more then. Guess I've done a little too much yardwork?

Great Weekend!

We had a beautiful break from the heat on Saturday and I was able to spend 11 hours working outside. But yesterday the heat returned and it was not pleasant sleeping last night! We had our small group over for dinner last night - our first "party" on our porch this year! We had a wonderful time, it's been a month since we got together, so lots to catch up on in each other's lives. I had fun giving tours of the garden. Now it's back to the work week with a big agenda! Today I need to do the deposit and get all the reports ready for a big financial meeting tonight. Plus closing July and beginning to enter the budget for next year. Then I need to begin the process of closing the year. At home the big projects are APPLES! I have a bushel that need attention, plus all the daily things like watering and weeding. It's definitely a busy time of year....so I'd better get at it. Have a great week everyone!

Wednesday's Heat

The sixth day of heat emergency here in Cincinnati! I'm up early to get my outside work done as quickly as possible. At 7 AM it is already 78 degrees! Sounds like after today, we will finally get some relief....at least they anticipate a cool front coming through tomorrow. Well, it's off to the garden.
