October 11, 2023. Madison, Mississippi. David's Shoulder.

 Ten days before we left Nova Scotia, during a power outage, David went outside to shut off his generator.  His back steps from his deck was slick and he fell, and hurt his shoulder.  It hurt so the next morning he went to the hospital t0 get checked out.  Sure enough, he separated the muscles from the rotator cuff.  He was told he would be called to have an ultra sound .  He was hoping it would be done before he left but no luck.    Hw would need to have surgery but not until he got the ultra sound.

When he was walking down to the dock, he reached out for the railing and hurt it again/  I suggested that he get evaluated at the Mississippi Sports Clinic which he did the next morning.  He was very pleased with the care from the Doctor, who had x rays.  And gave him a cortisone shot which helped the pain.  The doctor told him that the shoulder needs surgery but until he got home, he would be comfortable, which he is now.  In addition the doctor suggested therapy here.  David is very pleased.  He has had two sessions with the physical therapist and has another one coming on Friday.  David is pleased.

David has travel insurance but whether or not he will get compendsted remains to be seen.  But in the meantime, David is impressed with the Mississippi Sports Center.  Very impressive.
