Doctor Visit 10/2

I had a doctor's appointment with Dr. Googe yesterday. He was pretty pleased with my progress. I told him about my shoulder feeling soooo stiff some days, and he said it was most likely scar tissue. They explained to me that scar tissue will stretch out during therapy, and then tighten back up again. They said it takes about 6 months for it to relax and fall into place. So that made me feel better.
I will go to therapy for 2 more months, and then back to him. They will start me on strengthening exercises too.
He was tickled that I could reach behind my back at all. That is the most painful part, but it gets better every day.
My friend from Kenner, Bettye, has been here all week. We have had a great visit, and shopped a whole lot. I'm ready to get back to my sewing.

Hugs to all.
