17. Yeah, I've never installed a bidet - the wand in the shower works better.

I'm lucky, too. I live in a pretty small city with a big university sports team. The orthopedic clinic I go to specializes in fixing their injuries.

That's why the doctor was surprised with my left shoulder. Here's a middle aged fat woman who didn't seem to be in much pain, MRI didn't show much, so he didn't expect the damage he found - much worse than any of the athletes he'd treated. Having a horse rear up and snatch your shoulder is much worse than any football or baseball injury apparently. Plus I had an old injury that detached the ligament to the muscle over the shoulder blade - so old the muscle was atrophied.

Good to hear you will be treated by some of the best - it does make a huge difference.
