I've been to see all my physicians as I prepare for my six month sojourn
in India. My arthritis in my left shoulder and left knee have gotten so bad
that I finally decided to have my wonderful ( and most handsome )
orthopedist, Dr. John Belzer, give me a steroid injection in both areas in
hopes of gaining some relief from the pain. My right shoulder and right
knee bother me as well but not nearly as bad as the other side.
Neither injection was really uncomfortable and I am so happy to feel
some relief already. Dr. Belzer cautioned me not to overdo use of either
joint, however, as the pathology is still there.
On the way home, I went down Great Highway and stopped for an hour
to look at the Pacific. I have so much missed cruising since the loss of my
job nearly three years ago. Thankfully, I've had the Pacific Ocean only
three miles from my home and a huge coastline for many miles in close
proximity. Yesterday, there seemed to be a huge convention of seagulls!
As always, I had my camera with me and I got quite a few pictures, even
some of birds in flight which usually elude me. I was helped by a good
headwind which kept them at practically a standstill in front of me!
