Journal Entry for August 27, 2007 Mood
Monday, August 27, 2007

I'VE BEEN A LITTLE SHOOK UP IN THE LAST FEW HOURS. SOOOO MY FRIEND MARY AND I WALKED OVER TO THE 7-11, GOT AN ICE CREAM BAR SAT ON A BUS BENCH AND WATCHED PEOPLE DOING CONSTRUCTIION NEXT TO OUR BUILDING.  THE OTHER DAY I HAD A SET BACK IN THERAPY AND PULLED A HIGHER STRENGTH "BAND' ON MY ARM.  WOW ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS BACK TO WHERE I STARTED!!! PAIN..YAH....A PHONE CALL A FEW HOURS AGO HAS KNOCKED ME FOR A LOOP!  MY DOCTOR CALLED ME TO READ ME THE MRI I HAD TAKEN LAST WEEK.  ITS A TEAR IN THE TENDON IN THE ROTATOR CUFF.  HE IS PICKING A BONE DR. FOR ME FOR SURGERY.  THERE'S NO QUESTION OF USING MY COMPUTER FOR AWHILE.  GEE HERE I'VE TOLD YOU I WAS GETTING ALONG A LITTLE BIT BETTER...IT WAS REALLY A SHOCK!  I'VE WORKED SO DARN HARD THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, RODE IN THE DARN HOT SUN TO THERAPY CLEAR ACROSS TOWN, HAVING FOUR BUS CHANGES AND LONG WAITS AT EACH ONE.  I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE SURGERY ITSELF AT ALL, I CAN TAKE IT BUT I'M AFRAID SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN TO ME LIKE LAST FEB.. 20TH AND I END UP IN REHABILITATION LIKE LAST TIME LEARNING TO WALK AGAIN. SOOOOOO IF YOU DON'T GET JOKES OR LETTERS FOR AWHILE THIS IS WHY.
