Good afternoon Granny Land! I've had a productive morning harvesting vegetables from our garden. I will process it this afternoon while it's to hot to work outside.
Granny, how is Tom today?
lovesfarms, good luck with the MRI. Hope all turns out well.
hillbilly hen hope your son has a good outcome with his A-fib. and welcome to Granny Land. I have a granddaughter who lives in Grand Rapids.

No problem, I've been in and out of here while I work on vegetables in the kitchen. I got a little to hot this morning so I'm resting frequently and drinking lots of water. How's your day going?

I'm here! I'm here! Sorry, just walked in from seeing the Ortho surgeon and then PT which completely wears me out.

I'm a free woman but as I said, still on probation. Cripes. Asked him what my limits are as to what I can do and what I can't do. I can only lift 2 pounds with my right arm. Nothing strenuous or heavy lifting or in his words, take it easy. I may be able to ride my dirt bike this fall....maybe. Sigh.

The way the therapist explained it to me is that my shoulder is in danger of dislocating right now because of the way that the cartilage capsule that is surrounding the head of the humerus bone is reacting to the tendons being too tight and spasming....or something like that. I was laying there feeling like I was on the losing end of an MMA fight at the moment and enjoying an arm lock. Thus the reason behind the surgeon urging me to take it easy.

No driving yet either. whimper.....

But I did expect this so no big shocks. I have a lot of months ahead of me before I'm healed and keep reminding myself that I had a lot of repair work done on my shoulder to get it back into one piece again. I just have to be patient.

But I am out of the sling and can use my right hand and arm again....as long as I don't use it too much above my elbow. So okay I can deal with this. I see him again in 3 weeks.

Hot here but we just had a thunder storm roll through so temp dropped for the high 80s to the high 60s.

Yeah! no more sling! It's amazing what you can do with just your hand when you have limited range of motion. They say patience is a virtue but "they" have never had to deal with an extended recovery. We have had thunderstorms this afternoon, too. dropped our temp from 90 to 80 and raised the humidity to 94%

Ummm. 6-mo checkup w my PCP. Have not done that much hobbling about on the walker before. I am BEAT. Feels like I traveled about a mile and a half. I am TARRRED, lol. Came home, took a nap. Allergies terrible. Dinner is leftovers though, so no worries there.
