Hello Out There

Wednesday, April 2, 2008, 7:52 AM [General]

My physical therapy has gone quite well. I feel so much stronger now than I did before. I am still having a little trouble with my shoulder but am being told it takes up to 6 months to actually heal so the pain I am having is normal. So... I head back to work on Monday. Oh my goodness. When my rehab first started I was so miserable because I was stuck at home and couldn't do anything. Well, now that I'm better and can drive and clean the house, guess what? Yep, I DON'T want to go back to work. Ughh!! Getting up at the crack of dawn, facing Charlotte traffic (I live 8 miles from work and it takes me 30 minutes to drive it), and the politics. Oh well, that's what I signed up for.

Thank you all for your well wishes during my recovery period. You made it bearable.

Recouperating from surgeries

Sunday, March 2, 2008, 7:16 PM [General]

I had my surgeries 2 weeks ago and I am doing very well with my physical therapy. I can't go back to work until April 7th. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I do seem to be going a little stir crazy since I can't drive yet. My DH has been wonderful to me. He takes me where I need to go and waits on me when he gets home. I'll be glad when I'm back 100% though. The doctor said eventually I'll need a shoulder replacement. Ugh. I hope not for a long time.
