Josh and Erin in the Twin Cities

Wait a minute, what?

Just before heading down to the 'Lou for Christmas, I stopped in and got an MRI done on my shoulder and elbow because of some pain I have been having for quite a while. The shoulder I injured when I was training and trying to get into the FBI academy while I was weightlifting, but the elbow is new. Turns out the elbow is tendinitis, but the shoulder is, in a word, hosed. Turns out that I tore the rotator cuff and a tendon in there and having been over 2 years, the doc is not real confident that therapy or anything else he can do will help. He gave me a Cortisone shot to ease the swelling, but good lord does that hurt! It almost felt better before he gave me the shot...

So, I am going to spend the next month getting my shoulder a little more in shape, and then he's going to cut it and make it better. Hopefully then I will be right and can start getting back into the gym again, I'm tired of being the fat bastard lookalike, it's not even Halloween!

So, that's it for now personally. As far as work is concerned, I have been pulled off all the projects I was working on before and put on a much larger project with a much higher visibility and a lot more responsibility. It is going to be a huge challenge since the team is so much larger and there are 10 resources in India, so that means lots of REALLY early phone calls every week. My first meeting today was at 6AM and my last meeting was at 4 without a minute between them, so they are definitely getting their money's worth as far as hours. So, that looks awesome for me and what I have coming up, but it is going to be a tough road for the next year or so. Hey, maybe I'll get a free trip to India!!
