    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.

    Hello

    OK, I'm using this more and more and I think I'm getting the hang of it. Any and everyone that wants to be my friend is accepted. That's the one thing I don't like about this site. Aren't we all friends??? I love all my Red Hat sistas.  And who couldn't love this face?  LOL
