Actually getting a CAT scan today for my heart which is why I came home from up north. The MRI is tomorrow. My cardiologist is concerned with my replacement heart valve function so they are going to take a peak.

Had the MRI on my shoulder last week. I do indeed have a torn rotator cuff. Going to have to talk to the orthopedic surgeon to decide what to do about it. Surgery is a possibility but not always with a partial tear. PT and cortisone injections seem to be the non surgical treatment. Otherwise, the knife. Will have to see how severe the tear is via DRs opinion.

Also had a CAT scan on my heart. I have the test results but I can't understand them so it's back to the cardiologist to see what up with that.

Good thing I bought a log splitter last summer, don't think I'll be swinging an axe ever again.

Really praying everything works out fine Mac.
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.
