Alabama thread!

Well I am week 20 post op (2nd time around) and still have issues with picking up weight over 5# above my shoulder. Orthopedic Dr suggested PRP injection and it was finally approved by work comp to be done on the 22nd. Basically they will pull 10CCs of blood from my arm and spin it to separate platelets, WBCs and RBCs. Then inject a combo of plasma & platelets back into my shoulder directly.

I’m not looking forward to it as it’s controversial to do the procedure on a diabetic. More risks involved..

 

Hate to hear you're still having issues. Here's hoping they can find a way to make it better for you.

From AlabamaWX

RADAR CHECK: We have a few spotty, light showers across Central Alabama early this morning with temperatures in the 57-64 degree range in most places. Today will be mostly cloudy and mild with a few passing showers; afternoon temperatures reach the 70s again.

ACTIVE DAY TOMORROW: SPC has introduced an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms for areas west of a line from Huntsville to Birmingham to Selma to Grove Hill. the rest of the state is in a “slight risk” (level 2/5)…



Here are the key messages for tomorrow’s event…

*The window for strong to severe thunderstorms will open up around 12 noon for the northwest corner of the state, with the risk spreading to the southeast during the afternoon and evening hours. The event will wind down a little after midnight for southeast Alabama.

*Thunderstorms across Alabama tomorrow afternoon and evening will be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. The higher tornado probabilities are across parts of West Alabama, where SPC has defined a hatched area, meaning a strong tornado is possible (EF-2 or higher).



*Gradient winds (not related to thunderstorms) will average 15-25 mph, with gusts at time to 30 mph ahead of the storms.

*Rain amounts tomorrow will be around one inch, with isolated heavier amounts. For now flooding issues are not expected.

*Have a reliable way of hearing severe weather warnings tomorrow (NEVER an outdoor siren). The baseline is a NOAA Weather Radio; every home and business needs one. Have WEA (Wireless Emergency Alerts) enabled your smart phone. Download the free ABC 33/40 Weather app.

*Know the safe place in your home and business… a small room (hall, closet, bathroom) on the lowest floor. Near the center, away from windows. In that safe place have helmets for everyone. Air horns and hard sole shoes as well.

*If you live in a mobile home, you can’t stay there if you are in a tornado warning polygon. Know the nearest shelter or business that can used as a shelter. Have transportation arranged.

*You can be a hero tomorrow. If you know of a friend or loved one in a tornado warning polygon, call to text them to be sure they know the danger.

*Events like this are common in Alabama during our tornado season, which runs from November through May. No need to be anxious, just be prepared and we will get through the day together just fine.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Friday will feature a clearing sky as a much colder airmass moves into the state… temperatures will hold in the 40s over the northern third of the state, with 50s to the south. We start the weekend with 20s early Saturday morning, followed by a high in the 50s with a sunny sky. Sunday will be another sunny day with highs in the 60s.

NEXT WEEK: The warming trend continues; we rise into the low to mid 70s during the first half of the week. A few showers are possible by Tuesday, and there will be a som risk of rain statewide Wednesday, possibly into Thursday. See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1564: Galileo Galilei, who invented the telescope, the compass, and the thermometer, was born on February 15th, 1564.
