Deep in my closet in the back of my room is a small yellow shoebox. In the yellow shoebox are a few items and knick-knacks, including a nine year old Ace bandage about three inches wide. I’ve had this ace bandage since the 2nd semester of my first year in college. And it has been with me ever since. I don’t think about it from day to day, only on the rare but somehow repetitive occasion that I sprain my ankle. Today is one of those days. As I sit here, having just found my faithful Ace – Each time I wonder if it will still be there, it always is – and begin to wrap my ankle, I can’t help but wonder I this is some sort of heavenly punishment for my arrogant(ish) ranting from last week’s game. Tonight’s game was not nearly as good. I couldn’t seem to get the ball in the basket to save my life. I also made a couple of crucial errors that were not good for the overall result – we lost. To top it off during the last play of the game I went for a loose ball and in the process rolled my ankle, immediately afterward screaming like a banshee at the pain but more at the anger. It’s inevitable, between volleyball and basketball I’m bound to sprain my ankle, but it hasn’t happened for a few years, so I was especially angry tonight. At least it was the last game.

Today I was scooping out some left-over pasta from a tupperware container onto a plate. I was using a fork, and as I was dishing, the fork bent in half backwards-ways.
I Threw the fork away immediately.
That fork has failed the fork-test. If a fork can't scoop out cold pasta, then it's not a fork. – dray

If the rotator cuff has completely torn and the muscle has pulled away from the bone, the doctor will usually operate on your shoulder to repair the tendons and remove bony prominences. The operation helps relieve the pain you have at night, during rest, and from daily activities. To repair the torn rotator cuff, the doctor makes an incision in your shoulder. After removing the overlying bursa and any degenerative, frayed, or fragmented pieces from the edges of the torn tendon, the doctor decide how to repair the rotator cuff tendon. If the tear is small, the ends of the tendon may be sewn together. However, if the tear is large, the doctor will attach the tendon to the bone on the other side. First, the doctor creates a small trough in the humeral head and drills several small holes in the bone. Next, three or four sutures (stitches) are placed through the tendon and tied >> (Link to Fig. 6) < <.
I don't think I have to get that stuff done to me. It's still pretty scary though.
