C Is For Cookie, That's Good Enough For Me

Yesterday I had a frustrating start to the morning but the red mist dissolved away to a baby pink haze in the afternoon when my specialists appointment finally rolled around and I found out my shoulder wasn't the big C after all. Damn alarmist Doctor and Radiologist! I don't need the MRI or the bone biopsy now which makes my fine but claustrophobic arse pretty freakin' happy.

I have what is called osteolysis of my distal clavicle. It is separation and inflammation of the joint. It is apparently a fairly common injury in body builders which amuses me greatly given the only weightlifting I do is getting myself out of bed and picking up the cats (although.....)

If you are really bored you can read more about Osteolysis here

Plus in my googling efforts for the above I found a cool list of phobias on wikipedia: I see crazy people
