040971 - dislocation, which Millie suffered on 090122, and shown in xrays at
040972 - Kaiser on 090129, ref SDS 5 TE99, should not present a risk unless the
040973 - arm was moved with the elbow raised and twisting away from the body
040974 - toward the back.  She said this movement risks poping the shoulder
040975 - loose, because that was the direction of separation and so is now the
040976 - weakest positioning the shoulder.

040979 - Millie explained that the doctor at UCSF had to move the arm in that
040980 - direction in order to position test and layout equipment for cancer

040989 - things.  Most of the layout was done by Doctor Hsu, with Radiation
040990 - Oncology.  There was not enough time for the team to provide a record
040991 - of who attended the meeting, what work each performed.  She just
040992 - doesn't know.
040994 -  ..
040995 - Jodie had Millie perform several range of motion tests moving her arm
040996 - and fingers in various ways.  This was more extensive, including
040997 - moving the entire arm in the shoulder socket.  She said Millie did
040998 - very well.
041000 -  ..
041001 - Jodie did not do an xray today to evaluate condition of right arm
