If the space narrows significantly or if a spur is seen, you have an impingement. As you raise your arm above your body, the space for the rotator cuff between the acromion (the bone where your collarbone and shoulder blade form a joint) and the head of the humerus narrows. If the acromion is tilted or if the under surface has spurs, the rotator cuff is “pinched”. This can become painful and, if the spurs are rough, can, over time, lead to tears.

These are getting more accurate and can generally show impingement, but may miss small tears. If your rotator cuff is being “pinched” or you have a tear, then surgery is an option. This can be done as an outpatient through a small incision or using the arthroscope. The outcomes for both are close with the mini open being slightly higher. The underneath surface of the acromion is smoothed and the rotator cuff is examined and repaired, if needed. Metal anchors with sutures are placed in the bone and the tendon is reattached to the bone. Tears within the tendon can also be sutured. Sometimes the tendon is too degenerated to do a repair. If the ball and socket joint is normal, smoothing the underneath surface of the acromion will relieve pain and improve function If there is a lot of arthri- tis, a reverse shoulder prosthe- sis, replacing the joint with one that does not need a rotator cuff to function, may be a better answer. If you have a rotator cuff repair, you will need to protect the shoulder while the tendon is healing. This is generally about six weeks. Your doctor will probably put you in a sling. Some doctors use a pil- low to keep your arm away from your body to take tension off the repair. Older patients may benefit from starting assisted motion with the therapist at about two weeks as older shoulders tend to get stiff more easily than younger ones. After six weeks, strengthen- ing exercises are started, ini- tially under the supervision of a physical therapist. You will see changes for about 6-12 months after your surgery.

Everyone knows how to spell far. It is spelled E-I-E- I-O.” Ignorance of Old MacDonald’s farm may not have too many long-lasting effects, but ignorance of God’s will has some ever- lasting consequences. We read in Acts 17:30-31, “Therefore having over- looked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people every- where should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.” Some have said, “Ignorance is bliss.” However, there is nothing blissful about being lost for eternity. Jesus said in Luke Rickert Properties 13:3, “I tell you, no, but 5x11 unless you repent, you will Process all likewise perish.” He gave 00026956 the very same command in verse 5. Why would He stress the importance of repentance? Repentance is the process whereby we turn from the ways of sin and turn to the ways of Christ. We cannot do this if we do not listen to and obey God’s will as it is given to us in the Bible. Heed the wisdom and warning of the inspired apostle Peter as he spoke to a group of Christians who already had repented of their sins in 1 Peter 1:13-15: “Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obe- dient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior.” The conclu- sion is simple: Ignorance is death. So, repent, follow Christ, and never turn back.

Kevin’s Komments is presented by the Sebring Parkway church of Christ assembling at 3800 Sebring Parkway, Sebring.

Hoffman does divas in directing Wells Motor; 9.347"; 12.5"; Process color; -; 00027023 debut ‘Quartet’ By DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer TORONTO — At least Dustin Hoffman is honest when asked why it took him so long to make his directing debut. “I don’t know,” Hoffman said. The 75-year-old Hoffman went behind the camera for “Quartet,” starring Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly and Pauline Collins as aging British opera divas at a retirement home for musicians who put aside past differences for a reunion concert. “Quartet,” which pre- miered at last September’s Toronto International Film Festival, opened in a handful of theaters Jan. 11 and expands to wider release Friday. Hoffman always wanted to direct, optioning stories, working on scripts, develop- ing projects. He even started out to direct the 1978 ex-con- vict drama “Straight Time,” in which he also was starring. Hoffman cast the film, worked on the script with several writers and said he “even got myself secreted into San Quentin — which is another story — in a con- vict’s outfit for about five hours before I got found out.” Clearly, it was Hoffman’s passion project, but as he began watching dailies of the footage he had shot, he lost confidence and “fired myself” as director. Hoffman turned to old friend Ulu Grosbard, who had directed him in “Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?”, to finish “Straight Time,” but it wound up being an acrimonious shoot as Hoffman continued to try to co-direct and their friendship chilled. “Between that one and now, I don’t know. I worked on stuff, I’ve developed stuff and talked myself out of it for whatever reason,” Hoffman said in an interview at the Toronto festival.
