Oh Barb
I hope it can be a simple fix - let us know what dr says on Monday.

i know that shoulder injuries can take a long time to resolve. here's hoping that your doc on monday will have a totally different interpretation of those imaging results. in the meanwhile, please don't let this ruin your weekend - we all know that worry does nothing but add to the tension our bodies are already overloaded with, right?

happy to hear you were pleased with the TOS rehab that you received, and i am sure that all of that rib mobilization and so forth will only help your scapular stabilizing muscles as well. it all goes together needless to say...

you are so knowledgeable about keeping up with vitamins and supplements and the right nutrition to keep your tendons and ligaments healthy and strong. i know you will do well even if it feels like the progress you are making is slow going sometimes.

please rest easy, gentle ROM and ice as needed and do let us know what the specialist says next week, barb. i, too, hope that you can avoid having to have any more surgery on that shoulder - perhaps a good immobilizer would be an idea for you? (not one that looks like a handbag!)

"Be Brave"

well after four loads of laundry, washing the front door and doing more laundry, folding, cleaning up after kitty....doesn't always get done every day ...sorry Shady bear.....bad bad mommy.....who dosn't feel well all the time... I am a mess today....pain, agony of muscle spasms.....ya'll know!! idiot idiot idiot..... why oh why do I do this to myself.....


now have to vent
I am dealing with such poo poo from comp as they are telling me i am able to go back to work with restrictions of ridiculous things that I can't even do here at the home never mind at a full time job....cant even tolerate a car ride over two hours without wanting a nap....or the need to move like a trapped bug....

I now have to go to a family doc who really doesn't know me well and ask him to say he agrees with the notes from my specialist to say that I am unable to work at all. I am furious at having to have to go through all of this. I have the medical from my specialist to say I can't work but they ..the Infamous THEY at comp have decided without laying eyes on me or seeing how I live or seeing the drugs I am on or considering I have not nursed in five years!!!!!!!! they.....so I am sore and ticked off....

ok rant over feel a migraine coming on....blue cheese earlier or the work yesterday likely the work......got to take my meds and perhaps lie down....
thanks for reading my rubbish....

you guys all rock....oh and can't feel my arm now from typing

much love to ya'll
Victoria

thank Victoria, red, Johanna, Jo, allison for the support!
You are right, the problem will be the same and I cannot do anything until monday. But it is present in my head and even if I talk to myself to motivate me to think anything else, it returns after a while.
The weather is not fine, so I will not go out for a walk, but maybe, I find a cultural programm to distract.

I just wanted to add something very helpful from the rehab clinic: they did not make ice packs but "soft curd cheese" packs for 20 minutes. This helps so much for inflammations and is cold and relaxing. This is an old "house-remedy" but it works very well.

Again a big thank you!!!
Until monday,
barbara

Today I... had a nervous breakdown while on a hike. The first half was great. Then as I was about to turn back a swarm of black flies hit me and about two dozen of them stayed with me the entire 2 mile treck back.... The buzzing in my ears caused me to completely freak out. I felt like the flies completely took advantage of me. They were inconsiderate and invasive and refused to heed my warnings. I am never hiking again... EVER. The horror... the horror....

Today I am getting ready for my cleaning lady, which, as I am sure you all know, cleaning before she comes. Not actual cleaning but changing sheets on 4 beds (don't hve to change little ones sheets because she has slept with hubby and I for 2 years!), laundry, tie up newspapers, etc. Have some kids to help but they will do one thing and then disappear. In their rooms, waatching tv, videos, etc. Also my husband invited 20 football players and their parents and siblings for a barbeque and pool party on sunday! Lucky me! Which also means cleaning the yard and pool house so boys can change out there as this is immediately following a game. I will buy plenty of wine and beer (wine for me, beer for whoever else!) and of course, a truck full of soda. I suggested subs so no cooking but hubby wants burgers and dogs, oh, and he doesn't grill! Guess you does? Me! We'll have to work something out as it is my right side affected and I am right handed. Wish me luck! Linda

good luck tomorrow linda.

today i managed to go grocery shopping with my mom and 14yo's help. just about killed me. it'll be delivery for the next few weeks, i think.

on a bright note, the 14yo was sooooooo sweet and helpful that i actually enjoyed having her along

wish you all a good start in a new week.

I have seen my doctor today and I cannot tell you more because he wants a MR-Arthrography (?) to get a finer diagnosis. He says with the clinical tests and the MR pictures we already have enough indices to say there was a rerupture. But to be sure, he wants me to make this arthrography.
He is a well know specialist for the shoulder and he has never seen this in his career before that "young" tendons tear. I had the recontruction-surgery 3,5 month ago and now we are at the same state.
Maybe there is really an illness of the tendon???? I will insist the next time to know more about this.
So, the story continues.......I will post my news in some days.

So are my news!

I hope that johanna and lina could relax from there overdoing!

All the best and nice day,
Barbara

I had the football barbeque yesterday and it was great. One of the coaches did the burgers and dogs so I didn't have to grill! Hubby had offered but he really doesn't know what hes doning. A few people pushed others in the pool. No big deal until my hubby pushed a 15 year old in. H didn't know how to swim!!! Now we had hubby and two other coaches jumping in! Plus a coach cut his leg on a horsehoe spike! Never a dull moment around here!

Just found out 15 year old son needs shoes for school tomorrow. He's not allowed to wear sneakers. New school, new rules. I didn't know so we're going shopping again!

glanced at the posts...
just cant seem to keep up.

Massive occipital HA
Been going crazy ALL weekend
So much to do
NO arms and hands to do it with
Tired of asking cranky hubby to help with everything
So frustrated I picked myself up last night while the ANGELS game was on and headed to a cool movie theater all by myself.
Saw the movie "Stardust", entertaining
However, here i am and everything is still here to do
I HATE TOS, I HATE PAIN, I HATE W/C, I HATE THE WORLD

CANT WAIT FOR PT AND HYPNOTHERAPY THIS WEEK!

Offering of home to daugher of deceased neighbor friend has worn off, 6 weeks later.
We are helping a needed person but when is it TIME TO SAY BYE BYE
As Missy says, she's made herself too comfortable.
"O please, lord let her find her way home this week"

Have a better day/weekend than me
Keep the funnies coming
