AVN/osteonecrosis- NEVERMIND

NOT avascular necrosis of the shoulder. So next stop... endocrinologist next Weds!

When first heard avn from oncologist, knew I needed to get a ruling from my orthopedic surgeon.

Perhaps there is some such going on, but if so, its not shown by the MRI of my humerus, and my orthoP took flat film x-rays to confirm.

Talked about general situation... he's pretty confident that if there's anything to be found, the endocrinologist will find it, and that's what I've suspected from the start, so... .

In the mean time, pain has "plateaued-down" at pre-Nov 17th level. Mind you, that pain were still the worst I've had in my life to date, but it means I have some time each day where the fog of pain recedes enough to think.

I've been outside doing the sort of exercise and productive puttering allowed by my state of healing for three days in a row. It feels very good. Will doubtless do so again today.

First though, I need to go back through my back-posts here and make sure I spelled my doctor's name right, etc. I took a general thank-you in to the doctor's office yesterday, and I was in a bit of a fog when I wrote it & MASSIVELY mangled his name. Fortunately Tess was clear headed then, so between the two of us... *grin*
