Personal note
I got a few notes asking about my shoulder surgery
(thanks for the good wishes & suggestions )
I have been going to Physical Therapy the last month for it and when that wasn't helping they did a MRI a week ago
When I went to "ortho doc" for the results I found out I have 2 tears and some bone impediment
With as much stuff as I do they are worried that it could completely tear which would be a more difficult surgery
So they scheduled it for Aug 25th
SORRY TO READ YOU ARE STILL HAVING SHOULDER PROBLEMS,KARLA. I'M WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST WITH YOUR UPCOMING SURGERY.

I knew this was this week and asked her on Sunday if I needed to adjust my schedule to accomodate this....she at, that time, kept shrugging her shoulders saying I don't know. You would think she would have check that long before the last day of orientation!
