The doctor has me feel the deltoid muscle on the arm that wasn't injured; It feels solid. Then, he has me feel it on the arm that was dislocated, and my fingers sink into the tissue. The doctor tells me the deltoid motor is out, and gives me an exercise to try to bring it back.
I think of my legs, and consider whether I can flex them in all spots, or whether the motor is out in places. I take the exercise he gave me for my arm, and decide to use it on my legs, as well.
Consider the old among us. Is not this common -- flabby muscles, shall we call them? If the motor in my left deltoid can be rejuvenated, is there a hope for all the elderly?
