thanks all.

yes med, i did have a good doc. seeing as you are from the same town, well almost maybe, you might have heard of him,

i snagged a pretty decent sleep but got rousted by a pretty heavy ache. seems the way i had been sleeping iritated my shoulder. actually had me thinking about taking a pain killer! getting out of bed and sitting up has reduced it to a numbing ache. lets just say that i am glad i feel pain different than most, although i am now convinced that is the reason the local docs kept saying there was nothing wrong due to the lack of excrutiating pain.

the three sets of exercises yesterday have reduced the swelling in my hand to virtually zip. i also seem to have full control of my hand and can grip at 1/2 strength. the muscular ache is no worse than when i had a localized case of lead poisoning in my leg, the bone ache is a bit more, probably due to the grinding and drilling.

thanks again for the well wishes y'all.
