I went back to my ortho doctor today and it was a great visit. He has reduced my PT to once a week instead of three times a week. He said that I am farther along than he would have ever thought. I told him that my shoulder is great, it is my forearm that is the worse. He said that he has to repair more on my forearm that he did on my shoulder. I have not had to take pain meds for over a week, but I am still on the muscle relaxers 3-4 times a day and he told me that is normal and not a problem. He said the xrays he took today looked great. I will still be with my sling for two more weeks. He released me to go back to work, as long as they are cool with me wearing my sling. Not sure how they are going to react to that, they seem to want people 100%, but we will see, if they have a problem then I will just wait two more weeks and start back. He also said that I can get back in the pool at the Y, just told me to be careful and not over do it. I go back to him in 4 weeks. So I guess you will be seeing me post more, some will probably like that and some may not................LOL I have missed posting, but I have read everyday. I want to thank everyone for all the calls,emails, visit's, thoughts and prayers, etc.I am looking forward to getting back to normal..........whatever that is.....lol

Be watching for the reminders for the April Dinner Club and the May picnic. I hope everyone is having a great day...

Thanks for all the kind words. As far as PT, yep real nice, the drive wasn't so bad, it was the money I was having to fork out that my Insurance wouldn't cover, so that is a big help. Hope you are doing good.

Yes Cheryl, come on over...  the last day is this Sunday, 12:01 pm

I've had many and was actually sitting here going through all the members of my board, trying to get everyone on the list so they can get in the drawing...  and emailing the ones who have not entered yet...  I want everyone to have a chance.
