I thought I would start today's notes with a bit of history.
Many years ago I had reconstructive surgery on my right shoulder-twice!
Due to numerous sports injuries and when I was 13, a 1973 Fleetwood Cadillac (no, not that one) ran over me when my family was camping in the mountains of Colorado...a story for another time. Any way, last year about this time, I fell ,strained or threw something...I don't know it just hurt.
I went to see Super Doc - Timothy Linker, MD (513-701-5510); my family physician and Sports Medicine specialist. After numerous test, Cortisone shots and months of pain meds, It was decided that I have surgery. That was on September 12th of this year. It has been a loooooong and very painful recovery. In fact the story continues...I will fill you in later. What happened this morning just made me mad! I woke up around 12:30am, 2am and 3am last night to a sneeze-fest with a dry throat and cough. Just as I was starting to feel ready to get back into the swing of things!
I know that I am not alone when it comes to hating the common cold. The trips to the pharmacy, tissue piles, the aches and frustration and making the introductory "please excuse my voice, I have a bit of a cold". It's not that it is anything close to say: chemo or open heart surgery, it's just a pain in the neck! I personally have made it my goal top take the Zicam http://www.zicam.com/products challenge: 2 sprays up the nose every 4 hours. Let's see if this really does the job! Any other remidies you can suggest would be helpful!
Tonight, my cold and I..... and my wife of course; are off to a concert downtown at the Aronoff Center for the Performing Arts in Cincinnati. We are seeing Michael W. Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman. We have been fans of Steven's since our oldest Lucas was born ; he's now 13. Even if you have no need for inspirational music in your life, this guy really gets ya. Give him a try at www.stevencurtischapman.com and tell me what you think.
This is all the time I have for this blog today. I need to get back to the job search.
Tell me what you think...cya
