Geez if it ain't one thing it's another...
Uncommon? You guessed it. I tore my left bicep at the elbow Saturday afternoon.
How? I was power lifting 500 pounds and snap, pop! Actually I was at Food Lion and putting a bag with two 2-liter bottles of diet ginger ale in the car when snap, pop.
The lady two cars down from me heard it and came over to me and ask if I was OK. She helped me put the rest of my stuff in the car. I thought maybe just a sprain...but noooooooooooooooooo.
I had an appointment today with my orthopedic surgeon to get a basil joint shot in my left thumb and mentioned it. She grasped my bicep right above the elbow and hellsbells did it hurt. She wants to get this treated ASAP...so MRI tomorrow afternoon and follow up visit with the orthopedic surgeon Monday afternoon to schedule surgery.
Getting old eats used kitty litter!
