I'm always interested to see what you have written ... and of course what you are painting and learning. I'll have to come back to your newsletter and this blog post later today because I am headed to a doctor appointment. You know about those. I can relate to your rotator issues since I had the surgery about 5 years ago, and bicep repair. And now, I have a new 4mm tear at the incision spot inside. They don't want to do surgery a second time because I was told by the wonderful doctor it is never "quite" as successful. He said keep doing what I do, but modify my motions! Oh yeah! Right!!! I'm thinking of you!
