Furby Wranglings

Arghhhhh..... last night I made the mistake of going out to my garden to salvage the last of the tomatoes wearing shorts and NO SOCKS..... there are now at least eleven separate mosquito bites (I counted) forming lopsided rings around both of my ankles, and They ITCH!!!!!!

On the positive side, yesterday Dr. Boardman tested the range of motion of my left shoulder, pronounced the rotator cup sufficiently rehabilitated, and strongly suggested I consider giving up my part-time second job as a furniture mover.... LOL! *Happy dance ... until the skeeters got me**

The shoulder rotation procedure on Thursday went awesomely well -- Left arm was basically dead weight and in a sling for about a day and a half after wards, due to the combined cortizone shot and nerve block that let the doctor manipulate said shoulder and arm into breaking the muscle freeze.... it still hurts a bit when I move it certain ways, but its now more of a bearable pulled muscle pain than the multiple ice-pick stabbity. My physical therapist is VERY pleased with it, I'M ecstatic, and my husband is happy too. The only downside is being back on the Vicoden.

I CAN HAZ HUGZ NAO, YS, PLZ, THNKS!!!!!!

Dearest boy, I will always love you, wherever you are (Daughter, bless her heart, insists that you are in Vegas, with Elvis!)and I treasure the production still that Daughter gave me for Mother's Day with yours and Jake's autographs in purple marker (even though I am well aware that it's probably an e-bay forgery).... But, it's June and time for a new Default Icon. Maybe 'Janine' in celebration of the report that a Real Ghostbusters DvD box set is finally on the way?

Monday I start Physical Therapy for my Shoulder/Arm -- I really hope it will help, because I'm tired of having a bum arm that HURTS when I stretch to empty the clothes dryer, use the drive-thrus at the bank and fast foods, and hook Bel up to her tie-out, etc.

Speaking of Bel, we put up a child-gate on the front porch and she loves it when the gate is up and the door is open and she can go outside and bark at the passers-by. I need to finish planting my railing boxes -- marigolds, impatiens, and this colorful spiky flower that reminds me of lupines but they aren't. Hopefully the lavender will have a growth spurt soon and I can add them to the boxes as well.

Haven't really been in the mood for writing; plus I'm stuck on how to get from the end of chapter two to the start of chapter four of "Paths" -- which reminds me to go check out Frenziedpanda7's new story at the Vole Pit and leave a comment! Us 'Mothers Who Love Anime' (pat.pending) need to stick together!

TTFN

Doctor's office just called -- the MRI scans show inflammation in the joint (NO! Say it ain't SO....*insert sarcasm HERE*... Ya Think?) and wants to set up a four-week Physical Therapy routine, schedule to be hashed out by me and PT's office sometime later today...

well, I suppose so. If you really think it will help....

D'Oh.
