I found out Tuesday that the sprain/strained arm I have been nursing is acutally a broken shoulder...pout....now it hurs worse than before.
Good news! No surgery..yippee.. It's broken in a place that cannot be splinted so I am keeping it in a sling. It's also in a place that doesn't allow for surgery unless it's a new shoulder, which is not necessary now.
And waiting the 3 weeks did not do any damage. I'll begin Physical Therapy next Friday and go 3 times a week for at least 6 weeks. I may not get full range of motion back.
My neighbor said she would take me to my appoitments for a few weeks until I can feel comfortable driving. It's really hard to reach the gear shift with a bum right arm. And a few friends have emailed to say they'd help me out....Coco and Deb said they'd move up here for me!
Very very nice offer from both, but I think I'm okay for now on my own with drivers.
I'm in a much better mood/place tonight than I was last night. I can plan to go to a few fibery places later in the fall.
Puppy will have to be postponed until after I see how physical therapy works.
Thanks for all the good wishes sent my way.
