Busy Bee, and good news!
This is really an update on the previous post, and quite a happy one I am glad to say!
I am delighted to be able to report that the shoulder scan that I had a few days ago showed no tears in the rotor cuff area. There is, however, bursitis and the inner workings of the shoulder have got irritated and sore. This was very good news as the tear scenario was not a good one for a potter, and had the potential to have had me move away from clay for a very long time. Bursitis is far more treatable, and I have had a cortisone shot and will have physio. I am still some way off being able to do much with it, but I am pleased to have the prospect of having an arm that is more than a painful ornament!

It certainly is, and it is great to be able to look forward to working again.
Hi Patti,
Thank you for your good wishes and prayers, very much appreciated. Sorry that you have had a rotor cuff tear, from what I have read over the last couple of weeks they take a huge amount of time to recover from.
I'm a cut and slam wedger myself, and even that isn't without risk.
Good to hear from you. It is a pity that you don't live down the road rather than on the other side of the world, I think that your Thai massage skills could be helpful to me! Prior to this injury I had little understanding of how a shoulder was put together (and it is only dimly starting to gel now!) It is interesting how the joint achieves a sort of rotary motion.. I suppose it is the human equivalent of a CV joint on a front wheel drive car!
Thank you for that. Progress a bit slow at the moment, so am having to think of other ways to make things. Laura helping quite a bit where she can and it is enjoyable to be able to work together.

Very good to hear from you, welcome to this blog!
Hi Anna,
Thank you for your kind words and for staying in touch. I have been "getting around to" writing a new blog post for the last few days, and definitely hope to put a new post up by the end of this week!
