GOING TO THERAPY EVERY OTHER DAY HAS REALLY BEEN TIRING.  IT'S BEEN IN THE TOP 90'S MOST OF THE TIME OR SOMETIMES 100 DEGREES.  I TAKE THE BUS AT 11:15 A.M. AND DON'T GET HOME UNTIL ALMOST 5 PM.  (THAT'S LETTING ME GET A DELI SANDWICH AFTERWARDS)

NEXT TO MY 107 APT. COMPLEX THEY ARE BUILING A GREAT BIG ONE WITH SEVERAL STORES, WE'VE HAD SOME TROUBLE HERE THEN.  FIRST IT WAS NO ELECTRICITY, I CAME HOME FROM THERAPY THE OTHER NITE AND AS TIRED AS I WAS DECEIDED TO GO DOWN TO THE LAUNDRY ROOM AND WASH.  DARN IT WAS ALMOST THRU AND THE WATER GOT TURNED OFF (CLOTHES WERE SOAKING IN ABOUT A FOOT OF WATER) SINCE I CAN'T WRING THEM OUT CAUSE OF MY SHOULDER I HELD THEM UP WITH MY GOOD ARM UNTIL A LOT OF THE DRIPPING HAD STOPPED AND PUT THEM IN THE DRIER.  FINALLY GOT THEM TO THE POINT I PUT THEM IN THE DRYER UNTIL I COULD PUT THEM IN A PLASTIC SACK TO SPREAD THEM ALL OVER THE HOUSE. I HAVE A ROD OVER MY BATHTUB AND TRIED TO PUT THEM ON IT, WOW DID MY ARM ACHE!  IT TOOK 2 DAYS FOR THEM TO DRY!

WE HAD DID A LOT OF TESTS IN THERAPY EARLIER SO ARM WAS HURTING ANYWAY. I COULD LIFT 5 LBS. FOR 3 MINUTES.  BIG DEAL WILL THIS EVER HEAL?

I DON'T WANT TO COMPLAIN THO THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE ON THIS WEB SITE THAT ARE IN A LOT WORSE OFF THAN I AM.....AT LEAST I HAVE ONE ARM RIGHT?

MONDAY 2 WOMEN ARE COMING TO INTERVIEW ME FOR AN AGING SERVICE COMPANION. (HAVE BEEN ON THEIR LIST FOR QUITE A FEW MONTHS) SHE CAN HELP ME OPEN BOTTLES, USE A CAN-OPENER AND THE SCISSORS, EMPTY MY GARBAGE, SWEEP AND MOP MY FLOOR, AND BEST OF ALL HELP ME GET GROCERY'S!!!!!!!
