The Road To Recovery

The Road To Recovery

It has been 7 weeks and 3 days since the surgery on my right surgery.  The recovery has gone well, just as the one on my left shoulder did.  I went to the doctor on Monday (June 12).  He as well as his nurse, told me I had more flexibility than any of his other patients.  They both said it was because of the diligence with which I did my therapy exercises.  I am still doing daily exercises on my left shoulder and continue to exercise my right shoulder twice daily.  Concerning the seriousness of the tear on the right, I have done remarkably well.  I have 100% range of motion back.  There are times when things get a bit pinchy but a little exercise or an ice pack take care of that.

Your mother and I are going to join a group at the Texas Sports Medicine facility for exercise.  They have a lap pool, a hot tub, and a sauna.  They have both an indoor track and an outdoor track, as well as a gymnasium.  They also have all of the weight machines as well as free weights.  They have every type of class imaginable from Yoga to  kickboxing.  There are also cardio classes, classes for diabetics.  My main interest is going to be to increase the strength in my shoulders.  I am also hoping to strengthen my abdominable muscles and my back muscles.  Hopefully, this will help ease some of the back problems I have.  I have lost about 8 pounds in the past 2 months.  Your mother is hoping for some back relief as well as losing some weight.  

I am thinking about getting a divorce!  You are aware that Shelley’s son, Sean and his wife have a new baby?  That makes your mother a great-grandmother.  I am simply too young to be married to a great-grandmother.  Her being a grandma was enough.

By the way, would all of you please say a prayer for Jeff and Debbie?  Jeff continues to have major problems with his balance and the doctors apparently don’t have a clue.  Jeff is unable to drive and has trouble walking straight.  Debbie has her hands full.  Of course, he is very frustrated because he is unable to go to work.  I am sure they will appreciate your prayers.

Thanks to all of you.  I love you very much.  

Call your mother!!!
