Update on Hubby

Just want to give a little update on my hubby before we leave on our trip. He had an MRI yesterday, spoke with TP coordinator today the tumor has reached 2.2cm we have to wait for oncologist to read the report and see his lab value's however the Dr is out of town for the week and we leave on Sunday morning. He is feeling alot of preasure on his right side (this is new). Anyway if I can get online while on the ship I'll check in. I just love all of you on here. So grateful to be a part of this forum.
Will continue to pray for Charlie. I just love the way everyone here rallied around him, it encourages me that i'm not on this journey alone.

Barbara, he's still well within the 5 cm cut off. Enjoy your trip!

Hugs,

yup, Mike waited from 2009 when the first repair failied (too sick, didn't heal right, too late to do another...) until 14 months after transplant. He is healing pretty well now...bicepts, superspenaus, rotator cuff tears and labrum repair. He is 5 weeks post surgery now and starting to do some active movements...but mostly passive...others manipulating or rolling on a ball or pulley . He doensn't want a frozen shoulder so he is diligent about exercises.

Best to wait.

Enjoy your trip. Remind me where you are going? We have only done a few things in this last year...two trips from FL to CT/NY where the grandkids live. All those trips to Miami that we pretend are vacations. And some overnights in Florida...Seaworld and Jacksonville...not anything complicated.

Hugs,
Carol

That is one of the things that Mike had done too. 

From another site:

Where is the biceps tendon?

 

 

A:

The biceps muscle is located in the front part of the upper arm. It has two attachments in the shoulder and one attachment in the elbow. Problems most commonly arise with the long head of biceps which is attached to the socket of the shoulder joint. The biceps muscle has several functions in the body including elbow flexion (biceps curl) and forearm rotation. In the shoulder joint, it helps to control the acceleration and deceleration of the arm during overhead activities such as throwing, pitching and cricket bowling.
