Another doctor update...

I went to see Dr. Googe today, and I don't have to wear the sling anymore. He told me to start using my arm, but not to lift anything heavy.
Therapy will be a lot tougher, but it has to be done if I want to gain full use of my arm. I hope to be able to reach up and do my hair with two arms!

Hugs

Fifteen month checkup...

Yesterday was my 15 month checkup with Dr. Ghali. I saw Dr. Ringman, Dr. Ghali, and Dr. Kim. They are all so sweet. Everything looked good, and I go back in November.

I finally got an appointment with my shoulder doctor Friday morning at 7:30. Ugh! So early, but I didn't have a choice.

I'm doing a little more embroidering these days. I still have a long way to go in therapy with my arm. It's just hard to be patient and wait. I want it to be normal - NOW!

Hugs to all.

Still wearing the sling...

Dr. Googe's office called and cancelled my appointment for last Friday because he was going to be out all week. I think his wife had her baby.
The lady that called was so snippy and booked me for the 31st. Well, my therapy prescription runs out on the 21st. So I'm going to try and talk to someone tomorrow and see if they will get me in sooner. I'm just really aggravated with how incompassionate some of these people are.
It will be a busy week. I have an appointment with Dr. Ghali on Tuesday, and therapy 3 times. Plus Re-bath is coming to do Clay's shower tomorrow.
I'm ready for fall to get here. I hate this hot weather.
Hugs to all.
