He places tissue from a pig (IIRC) surrounding the entire rotator cuff. After several months, the tissues and muscles had no distinguishing remnants of the pig's tissues. The body takes over the healing and it acts like fetal tissue in repairing the muscle.
Ask your surgeon if he's heard of that. There are very few surgeons certified to use this process and the results are extraordinary.

These posts sure bring a tear to my eye remembering my mom and dad - miss them terribly.
I also remember the day my dad bought his 1967 Coupe DeVille convertible. White leather interior and a pastel turquoise body and white cloth roof. He waited 7 weeks for that car. My mom took our dog to the vet the very next day and rear-ended a truck on the Long Island Expressway which was backing up in the right lane because he missed his exit. That was the end of my dad's pride and job. At least he got to drive it a couple of hours. Honest - no BS - true story!!!

I have 3 accounts with SiriusXM, so 3 times a year I have to call on the phone and negotiate. Which is a pain, but it saves me right at $100 per year per account.
I did have two internet service providers, up until a few minutes ago. Comcast as my primary, and AT&T Uverse as the backup. I have to call every year, and re-negotiate to get the Uverse bill cut in half. But this time, just now, they refused, so I canceled. I'll bet money within one or two months I will get a new introductory rate offer.
So far, Comcast has been quite good about renegotiating every year, I hope that continues. This last time, I had to add their basic TV service in order to get the best rates. Very weird, I don't want it, and don't use, but adding it to my account saves me $20 per month.
Recently, I had a round with electric service rates. I started to say providers, but there is only one actual provider (the company that generates the electricity and runs wires to my house). I had my service switched back and forth (on paper, or "in the billing computer somewhere"), about 3 times, with the rate going down each time I got a phone call offering to top the offer from the other party.
Very strange world we're living in. I guess there are enough people out there who won't negotiate that these strategies pay off for the big companies.

Actually, from our group of 6, only two remembered and we were the younger ones. But, in our case younger kids knew all the cars, the adults couldn't keep track. Those were the days when cars changed completely every year....kids could learn the new models like learning another language...easy when you are younger.
Those older cars really bring back memories. When I have to think what year we did something I always try to remember what car I was driving at the time...that helps me to recall the date, approximately.
Another car I remember with a reverse windo was the British Ford Anglia....started in 1960, but, the window didn't go up and down.

On the other front I'm parts shopping on the Miata. The goal is to have the insurance company total it and then have it fixed for no more than the settlement. We'll see what I can do. May have to settle for a non-OEM hood. That may not be the end of the world.

Now, I am completely recovered - for well over two years now. I tried it the way your doctor suggested, however a torn rotator cuff does not heal by itself - the cotisone is to reduce inflammation and the therapy is to try to improve movement. Arthroscopic surgery as an outpatient was what made me to decide to have it done - no hospitalization, no nurses with pain medications, and I was in my own comfortable environment.
I wish you the best of luck with the cortisone shots and the PT.

The full Apple CarPlay feature set will appear in the 2016 Buick Regal and LaCrosse, while the Enclave, Encore, and Verano will be upgraded later. However, the core functionality remains the same. You can download audiobooks to your phone and play them through Bluetooth on any Buick, or stream the content directly through the car’s 4G/LTE connection and CarPlay, if you have one of the supported models.

Buick estimates that their customers are 30% more likely to be book readers than the industry average. That should come as no surprise, because even with Buick’s generally successful efforts to appeal to younger buyers with models like the Regal and Verano, the brand’s mainstay is still a more mature set of drivers. But there’s more to it than just the people who already read novels. Daily commuters of any age may find a novel or non-fiction book more relaxing than the relentless shrieking of commercial radio or the tired playlists on satellite radio.

Driver....wife and I had a "spirited" conversation about the China visit. I agree with you....week to 10 days would be perfect. I couldn't do much more than that for a variety of reasons that are mostly work related. The other reasons, she will be gone over the holidays, leaving the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and not returning until after Christmas. Her attachment to this trip and the country overall is strong. I prefer to spend the Holidays at home with family.
Given she's a teacher, and has been for a couple of decades, she has a lot of vacation time saved up (nearly two years worth). So, as long as she gives the district enough notice (which she apparently did some time ago). She can take that sort of time off. Fact is, given she's been a teacher for 25+ years, she will get full retirement benefits when she's ready to take them. Teachers are on a whole different set up than the majority of us when it comes to retirement and time off.
China's not a cheap trip by any stretch, either. C'est la vie!
So, I haven't taken any vacation yet this year. And, I use it or lose it. I get 4 weeks, but as most of us know, trying to take that much time off in the business community is very hard to do. So, one week it is.
Asked my son if he wanted to go. But, he was just hired by a start up, who's offering a very nice compensation package, including pre-IPO stock options. So, he really can't go either.
That's how I happened onto the cruise in a solo cabin. I'm going alone, but won't be alone. It will be warm (Bahamas) at a time when it will be at least "chilly" in the OH Valley. Will come back the week before Christmas, and be ready for the Holidays.
I also understand you can't take that kind of trip away when you are working. Besides, you probably want more of an R&R kind of vacation that a learning one at this time......more like an escape from work routine.
I have seen some unbelievable trips to China offered....air, hotels, tours, internal flights for about $1500. Subscribe to travelzoo.com and they send you 20 amazing travel deals each week....absolutely no pressure or hassle. In fact, sometimes just seeing some of the deals makes you daydream so you feel like you are on vacation.

She said she thought about moving there at the time she loved it so much. I told her the new "capitalist" China may prove to be quite different to the one she remembers.
For a month+ stay in China, it's going to cost 5 figures.
Will it be long before our cars can take pictures or video and post them to your favorite social media site while driving?? Geez Louise... I like to DRIVE my car.
I have REAL SLR cameras, even still have my Minolta XG-1 that uses FILM. We went to a wedding recently, and while everyone else was holding their phones up, I was taking photographs. People were stopping me to have me take their picture. I explained to them that I was NOT one of the wedding photographers, but they insisted I take the shots anyway. Totally goofy if you ask me.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
The major difference of this drug over Harvoni (which did not kill off the virus completely after 1 month after stopping the drug) is that Veikira Pak does not kill the virus but rather stops it from reproducing which eventually stops the virus from attacking my liver.and eliminates the virus through attrition. The Ribavirin is just an antiviral drug, but when I took it with interferon back in 2006, the side effects were murder. I used to feel faint at times and it kept me from sleeping at night (which Harvoni also did).
I have to take 3 pills in the monring, with food, and 3 pills in the afternoon with food. Also, the treatment is for 24 weeks, not 12 like the Harvoini. The reason they cannot give me the Harvoni again for 24 weeks is because the virus I have will have developed some resistance to the drug because I've taken it.
I just hope I can handle the side-effects. If after a month or so I can no longer tolerate the side effects, I will have to come off the drug and wait for another Hep C drug to come onto the market. The research and number of treatments available over the last 12 months is geometrically increasing. I just hope this works. I will have to take blood tests every 4 weeks like before in order to find out if the viral load (count) is decreasing or being eliminated. Right now it is 151,000 (it was 354,000 before I started taking Harvoni). I can't tell you how depressing it is to find out after "0" viral load test results for 4 months the final blood test showed fast increases in the virus count.
Good grief, will the stressers in my life ever ease off or am I going to have to live with this constant stress for the rest of my life, however long that is going to be.

The modified Mustang GT will come in three editions with small production numbers – 243 King models, 43 King Premier and 14 King Premier convertibles. Customers can order the cars through their local Ford dealership.
Starting with a factory Ford Mustang GT, Petty's Garage adds a Ford Performance supercharger to the stock 5.0-liter V8 engine. The supercharger adds 235 horsepower, for a total output of 670 horsepower, backed by a three-year, 36,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. Other powertrain modifications include custom engine calibration, a cold-air intake for better breathing and a MagnaFlow exhaust.
Backing up that power are extreme-duty TrakPak Ford Performance halfshafts, three-way adjustable front and rear sway bars, and a rear axle upgrade.
Custom matte-black Petty's Garage/HRE staggered 20- x 9-inch front wheels and 20- x 10-inch rear wheels with Continental Extreme Performance summer tires are standard.
In addition to the go-fast pieces, the cars are worked over with a number of Petty's Garage appearance parts – including custom rear diffuser with Richard Petty-designed center-mounted exhaust, shift knob, sill plates, floor mats, embroidered head restraints and rear spoiler. The King signs every model on a special dash plate.
The King Premier edition features different HRE/Petty's Garage wheels, a big brake upgrade kit that includes six-piston front brakes and four-piston rears over two-piece rotors, and custom leather trimmed interior. Other highlights include a complete Petty's Garage/BASF custom tri-color stripe package featuring iconic Petty blue, red and white stripes covered in crushed and tumbled glass in clear coat. Petty blue body cladding gets the clear coat crushed and tumbled glass as well.
Options for all three editions include different wheel bushings to minimize wheel hop, a coil-over racing suspension and a supercharger upgrade that results in a total of 727 horsepower.
Starting suggested retail prices are $67,495 for the King edition and $90,495 for King Premier. More details and available options can be found at the Petty's Garage website.

Mike....hang in there.
Got the Cadillac back today. We'll see if it stalls again. They replaced some sort of vapor parts in the fuel system. And, shock of shocks, they replaced the windshield wipers without me asking, nor charging me.
Heard from the buy back dept at Cadillac today, too. Apparently, my case moved up to the next level. Someone is supposed to contact me to talk about numbers. I don't know what numbers they want to talk about. It's a swap, plain and simple. The number I bought for should equal the number on the replacement. How they make the balance sheet work is up to them. We'll see.
IMHO the best way to see most cities is a Hop On Hop Off bus, they give you facts and you will get an overview of the city. I stops at any hilites you may be interested in seeing.
Some countries though, a tour is the only way to do it, St Petersburg Russia for one - you can't do it on your own unless you get a visa. Egypt because there is no way you want to venture around on your own. China is another, you wouldn't have a clue how to manage on your own.

Go over numbers! That sounds ominous. The only numbers are the time of day they want to do the swap.

Because the insurance company did not approve larger dose of the Ribavirin, they substituted a larger amount of the smaller dose pills. So, I take 6 pills every morning with food and 4 pills every evening with food. The Veikira Pak comes in individual daily pkgs. showing which pills to take in the AM and the PM. Who needs to take these pills with meals? The amount of pills is a meal in and of itself!

If I had to pay full copay for the pills for the next 6 months (24 week regimen), I would be driving a "KIDDIE CAR!" Could never have afforded a Fiat 500, that's for sure!
