Stuff Went into town for my regular check-up in the morning and followed up with Dr. Cliff Oliver on FaceTime in the afternoon. Blew up lots of balloons and watched a few movies. Answered a ton of Used Gear (and other) e-mails and id a bit of work on the Nikon AF e-Guide. I should […] Stuff For the first time in well more than a week, I enjoyed a pain-free night of sleep by switching from my bed to the recliner section of my couch. On Tuesday I got a bit more work done on the Nikon D850/D5/D500/D7500 Focus Fine-tune Guide and plan on doing the more today. I am […] Stuff I am feeling pretty much like a bird with an injured wing. I have decided to go back to Phoenix next Tuesday for a week to get my shoulder worked on. On Monday I got a ton of work done on the Nikon D850/D5/D500/D750 Focus Fine-tune Guide and plan on doing the same today. […] Stuff Very few folks voiced their opinions — good or bad — on the five images presented yesterday. If you have a minute, please click here and partake. It became obvious when I got into bed on Saturday night in pain that I was doing too much hand held bird photography — see today’s […] Stuff The shoulder continues to feel just a bit better every day. 6pm yesterday (Saturday) afternoon was the two-week anniversary of the big crash and smash. I went down to the lake on Friday afternoon and found a large colt (Image #5) and then relocated the two small colts (seen in Images 1, 3, and […] Stuff The shoulder continues to improve as I get close to the two week mark. I went into town on Thursday and Friday for some light deep tissue massage work And I was glad to find the two crane chicks in good health down by the lake in the morning. Chuck Westfall I learned […] Stuff The shoulder continues to feel better but there is still lots of impingement with abduction and flexion. But everyday it becomes a bit easier to do the everyday things with my left arm that we take for granted. I did not lift a finger on the Nikon Focus Fine-tune Guide on Thursday. As always, […] Stuff The shoulder continues to feel better but still lots of impingements with abduction and flexion. But I am finding it easier to do the everyday things with my left arm that we take for granted. And I slept a lot better on Tuesday night than I did on Monday night. I got a […] Stuff Tuesday was a dark stormy day in central Florida. My shoulder is actually showing significant improvement. Many of the simple everyday movements that had caused me pain for the past nine days are becoming easier to do. Range of motion is still quite restricted but I am pretty sure that the light that I […] Stuff Monday was more of the same: Blowing up balloons. More ice and moist hot towels on the shoulder. Did not work on the Nikon Focus Fine-tune Guide. Ate well. Spoke with Amy on the phone; she advised getting out to do some photography tomorrow. I will do just that on Tuesday morning unless we […] Stuff Had my best night’s sleep in a while on Saturday. Sunday was more of the same: Blowing up balloons. Began alternating ice and moist hot towels on the shoulder. Worked on the the Nikon Focus Fine-tune Guide. Found out in part just how bad the Nikon camera body User’s Manuals are. Ate well. […] Stuff On Saturday I did my usual two rounds of Postural Restoration exercises, worked on this blog post, took a nap, and got some more work done on the Nikon Focus Fine-tune Guide. And that afternoon as my range of motion and freedom of movement kept on improving, I was feeling good enough for the […] Stuff I am still taking it easy and will be for a while longer. No photography, no swimming. The shoulder is getting better bit by bit very slowly. Not anywhere near fast enough for me but at my age, I need to be patient. Range of motion of the left arm with abduction and flexion […] Stuff The shoulder is getting a little bit better each day but abduction of the left arm is greatly restricted and when I try, the pain is a pain 🙂 Especially at night, even when I am doing nothing. My replacement D5 arrived today. Two folks have signed up for Gatorland #2 so we will […] Stuff My shoulder is feeling a bit better each day but it continues to bother me after five or so hours of sound sleep. So I get up and ice it and then go back to sleep. I went into town to get my teeth cleaned in the morning and blew up lots of balloons […] Stuff I am finishing this blog post on Tuesday evening in hopes of sleeping late on Wednesday. The shoulder felt a lot better as Tuesday wore on. I got lots of work accomplished with travel plans for the lucky Falklands IPT (sold out for forever) group and will be doing the same for the long […] Stuff I fell asleep before 10:00pm and slept great till almost 4:00am. I woke with a dull pain in my injured left shoulder. I got some gel ice packs and tried hard to get back to sleep while reading Lee Child’s Trip Wire on my i-Phone 8+; I just love the Jack Reacher novels and […] Stuff Surprisingly, I slept for four hours right off the bat on Saturday night, but after that it was fitful rest at best as I could not find a comfortable position. When I woke on Sunday morning the damaged shoulder had tightened up considerably; I had very little range or motion with my left arm. […] Stuff I woke just before the alarm on Saturday morning at 2:50am. I showered, finished packing my bags, filled the tank, made a quick stop at Southwest curbside check-in, returned my rental car, took the shuttle to Terminal 4, enjoyed TSA pre-check, and was at the gate early. The nonstop flight to Orlando was fast […] Stuff It was another cloudy morning and photography was very slow a first. My last asp spot turned up some cooperative Pied-billed Grebes and American Avocets. I took a friend to the airport at 9am. After my last therapy session of this visit, I headed to Gilbert for my last duck-baiting session with only the […] |
