Oct. 28th, 2005 11:56 amOkay, it's official. I am in love with Firefly. Borrowed the first volume of the DVD from the library this week, watched the two-hour episode, then decided at the last minute yesterday to go see Serenity instead of Wallace and Gromit (I will get to W&G, esp. since the new Zorro movie is getting such abysmal reviews (sigh)). Watched the other two episodes on the DVD last night. I have the last three DVDs on hold as of this morning (g). Good stuff, good storyline, quirky universe -- I am convinced it all takes place somewhere beyond Jackson's Whole -- and I could watch Nathan Fillion read the phone book...
Excellent distraction from the shoulder, which is getting inexorably worse. Orthopedist says the best solution is to go in and get the lump of calcium out, because it's highly unlikely that it's going to dissolve with other therapies. I'm in just about enough chronic pain at this point to start thinking this is a good idea (in spite of my terror of needles, which is saying something). She says I'm lucky -- to think of my tendons as a wool scarf, and the usual way calcific tendonitis presents as a bunch of cactus spines woven through it. A single lump is a lot easier to get out, she says. It's outpatient surgery, and I'm going to go talk to the surgeon on Thursday.
Sigh.
