Bad news. Big tear and I'll have surgery later this month. Honestly, I'm not sure how it happened. I fell in the tub on that side but the symptoms didn't show up until two days later. It's easy to hurt the cuff, evidently. Be careful. No heavy lifting or falling on shoulder, etc.

I'm not sure I can type at all after the surgery for a good while. Hubby is going to get me one of those computer programs that types as you speak as part of my Valentine's day present.

Hi, samicat--and welcome! Great to have you here.

Yes, I'll take some tea, please. And it sounds like a nice gift for a thoughtful neighbor.
