I had my appointment for my shoulder this afternoon and for the 1st time in I don't remember, I had tears in my eyes from her doing the mobility tests. They scheduled me for an MRI on the 6th so hopefully they will decide all I need is a steroid shot but we shall see. Pain was severe enough that my BP was 210/120 so they gave me an injection in my backside a couple of hours ago and I already have less inflammation. As has been said on here many times - aging is not for the faint of heart.

Sure hope it heals and the MRI finds no damage....
No Mike, it certainly isn't....there are many days that I think about that mule harnessed up and dragging the plow, as I plod along.....

I hope your shoulder is ok and it is nothing serious.

Sorry Mike... Hope it's just aggravation/inflammation from all the recent fencing. Hope a shot or maybe some pills short term will calm it back down.

We worked the sheep through the chute this morning checking hooves and giving CDT shots to those that needed it. Hooves didn't need any work at all so I guess there are some good things to be said about stone in the paddocks.

We had a neighbor helping and their dog followed them over. The LGDs were in another paddock to keep them out of my way but it didn't work out that way. I built a jump gate for Maisy about 4 months ago in that fence and Maisy would never go through it so I didn't bother closing it off this morning but of course once she saw that dog that was the first time for her to go through it. I also made a jump gate on a cattle panel to us to train her and even though she went through it once to get to Thor the first day we had him, she never tried it again so I wrote that off as a failure that needed more work. Today I went ahead and closed it off then walked Maisy down to the gate for that fence. When I opened the gate I raised up and promptly found myself flat on my back from touching my forehead to the 13K volts going through the high hot wire.

The Toradol shot I got yesterday made the shoulder pain go away (or at least I can't feel it if it's there) and blood pressure was back down to normal instead of off the charts high.

BP was 210/120

And your heart didn't explode??

When I opened the gate I raised up and promptly found myself flat on my back from touching my forehead to the 13K volts going through the high hot wire.

Ow. I bet you forgot all about your shoulder pain then! Can't imagine how your head felt, bad enough when your arm aches for a few minutes after an accidental touch.

That had to hurt! I'm terrified of that having just installed electric fencing to convince Cowboy to stay where he belongs! Yikes!

 

[Bruce]

I suggest you don't touch it @frustratedearthmother

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Good suggestion! Probably don't even have to tell Cowboy that anymore, lol! I mean...poor dog!

Every once in awhile I will hear the pup yelping from rubbing against the low hot wire.
