Thursday, July 10: Frustration, Yoga, in July

Hi. Damn glad to meet you out here in the Internet land. Well, today is Thursday and I have an entered the photography contest


and tomorrow is the deadline so I have to do it tonight. Anyhow, I went to the PT today and she read my findings and her

 determination is that There wasn’t much use for me to come to formal PT classes because of that it’s nerve damage not just on some kind of muscle pull or something. That sort

 of sent me in a state of shock. She said to continue to exercise exercises and raise my hands in the air with while lying in bed, etc. I’m going to set up some questions

 for my July 22 appointment to deal with this. I did talk to Mary and my sister Alice about the whole situation. Also got some words from someone else as well. Mike called the phone company 

he works with and apparently they tried to send the SIM card by US mail and it 

got returned or something. Now they’re sending it UPS and it’s going to 

be another two weeks for him getting the SIM card that was really stupid. As I was leaving work, my work app

 stopped working for a minute, but I was fortunately able to sign in. I 

was able to do screenshots of my app in case it’s a problem. Anyway, it’s 3:47 PM. I’m 

heading into the 4 o’clock class my mind a little blown right now. Well, I 

went to the 4 o’clock class and Tina started today which was a nice surprise. I did 

my thing and it was pretty warm but I was in a bit of a mood so I was all 

concentration 100% there. Afterwards, Tina was very encouraging and she

 was encouraging during class, which is really appreciated. I felt like I 

had as a teacher today. So it’s at 5:53 and I feel a lot better. Anyhow, Mary and



 I left the studio and we walked 
back to her place and picked up some food at the Royal Indian for dinner. My target doll was really hot. That’s for damn sure. Hers was not as hot. Anyway, I finally entered my photographs for a photography exhibit at the Sketch club exhibit that coming

 up in early August. We will find out just like last year around July 15, if any of our photos got 

in. I recall last year Mary and I were in Long Beach when we found out about the results of of who got in the exhibit. Anyhow, I put in seven photos for possible entry they could take up the two of a person works. We’ll see what happens after that.

Thursday June 26:Parsonage-Turner Syndrome

I had to get up early because I’m having an EMG test conducted. It’s in Jefferson Hospital land which means I have to go to 25 S.9th St. Plenty of time but

 the 17 bus to show six minutes early in the elevator took forever to catch cause everybody’s leaving for work. Some woman on the seventh floor was looking at her phone
 and I yelled
at “seventh floor.“ She called the elevator I ended up missing the bus and walking at chestnut Street. Fortunately the bus came fairly quickly. I just called back fairly quickly for the EMT appointment. They did 
some motion test. She took a look at my wing scapula and this test has two parts some kind of nerve diode thing and then the acupuncture needles. This is the 

second part. I just finished the EMG. It was pretty intense. Yes I have nerve damage on both sides. The left side. I have it on my rotator cuff, on my right side. 

I have it near my scapula. They don’t know if the nerves will recover or not. They have no idea there’s nothing they can really do about it. I have this syndrome called Parsonage Turner syndrome. Yeah, I feel pretty beat 

up right now but at least I know what I have just do PT till I’m dead, I guess. Anyhow, I rested afterwards. I walked all the way back and I lied down to Mike’s bed for a minute 

looked at TikTok videos and drank some super coffee to offer me blessed relief. I talked with Mary and Mike. Mike is definitely getting out of the hospital 

today around 1 o’clock. Mary then came over to Mike’s place and we did some further 

organizing and cleaning before you got home. We put the bookshelf

 where the clothing was and put the clothing where the bookshop bookshelf 

was right behind Mike so he can grab his own clothes. We then talk 

to Mike for a while. Mary and I walked back to her place and I picked up my yoga 
clothes and walked all the way back to 

Mike’s to sign out by 3:30 PM.  Well, I went to class and Lupe was teaching. 



This is one week since I came to my first class and loopy taught it. I did

 my usual, not using my arms and shoulders routine. I’m starting to routine 

it, but it still feels different. Afterwards, we hung out at the studio 

and we talked to Evan. He’s going away to perform out in California. So he’ll 

be gone the entire month of July. I went to my CODA meeting
