Well the shoulder thing is back. My vicodine/celibrex cocktails are no longer keeping the inflammation down. At least it's mid July, and on the whole not very windy. So maybe I've missed one good session. Thank god I have Segue in the water. Lauralee and I have had some really nice late day sails. The temps have been in the 90's; just too hot for her. But we have had some nice light [8-12 knot] thermals. They start late, [about 5] and die promptly at sunset. Plus the mid 80's temperatures are easier to handle.
I'm doing my rehab thing. I think I've done it enough in the last 25 years to remember all the exercises to do. I even have some 'therabands' from my last incident. The big thing is to give it time to heal. And that's always been a problem for me. If it doesn't start to feel better in a few weeks, I'll have to go back to the Doc, who'll do an MRI to diagnose what I already know...who'll prescribe PT for 6 weeks...and then will finally give me an injection...and I'll be fine for another 6 months, to, 2 years.

Ye of the theraband brotherhood,
I find that the shots only work if I'm also religious about both the PT AND the ice. I got lax early this summer, and one shoulder started acting up. Consulted my notes...now it's excercise and ice and frequent breaks while sailing...and if da notes are accurate I should be improved in a few more weeks.
I always remember what my best PTherapist said to me:
Me: how long will I need to do these excercise?
Her: For the rest of your life.
Me: Oh.
