I spent my morning at Urgent Care at Loyola in Burr Ridge with my husband.    My husband hurt his shoulder on Thursday morning when he woke up in extreme pain.     He was unable to move his arm on his own and told me "I just slept on it funny".   I immediately responded Mmmm hummmm...right, please take it easy and if it is not better we are going to the doctor.

Friday he thought it was better and told me he could move it 1-2 inches, such improvement!   Yes this is sarcasm; I am fluent so I apologize in advance if you need translation.    So I told him that is great, do you not want me to make an appointment?

Saturday morning he sends me an email from work and tells me he is in extreme pain and maybe we can head to urgent care after work.    He doesn't make it home in enough time to head to urgent care and he refuses to spend 4-6 hrs at the local hospital emergency rooms.    Being the Marine he is, he takes some Advil and suffers through the pain.

Sunday morning here we are...you can see that he is loving the gown and the fact that I brought my camera.    Turns out the doctor said he believes it could be rotator cuff injury or possibly tendonitis.   They were not able to do an MRI today to confirm his diagnosis, so he gave my husband some much needed pain medication and some steroids to see if this helps with the inflammation if it is tendonitis.   If the arm is not better in 48 hours, MRI and follow-up with ortho!    Praying for speedy recovery and nothing serious as he is right-handed and this is his right shoulder.   This is serious, it may affect his trigger finger, bass, banjo and guitar pickin' and of course his xbox skills!
