I had an MRI on my shoulder and then went to an orthopedic speciality doc at TOSH. I have tendonitis and bursitis which have created an impingement of the rotator cuff and finally resulted in a frozen shoulder. I'm having a surgical procedure done next week. It's called a shoulder manipulation. They put me totally out and then move it around breaking loose all of the tendons that are causing the problem. OUCH!!! Then they will stuff it full of cortisone. He said they have to put me out because otherwise my body would not allow them to do the procedure. Then I will have intensive physical therapy every day, starting that very day, to keep it moving. He wanted me to take a week off, but we settled on 3 days off work and then the weekend. Hopefully after a few days of horrible pain it will start getting better. Sounds fun, huh?
On to a happier note, it was a great week for the family. Brooke turned 4 on April 6th, Becca turned 6 on April 7th, and little Eli was blessed on April 11th. Krishele and her kids came from Idaho and Brittany and her kids came from Pleasant View for a birthday party at Heather's on Saturday. All of us were at the blessing on Sunday and spent any enjoyable afternoon/evening at Brittany's along with Dan's family. It is always great to be with my daughters, their husbands and my very beautiful grandchildren. Two weeks ago, we all descended on Krishele for Kate's 6th birthday and enjoyed each other's company along with part of Jason's family. What would life be without family???
I really need to get some pics uploaded to show off my great family!!!

Yup, we've been busy! Hope that procedure goes well for you. I think I'll wait till Thursday to call, cause I know how it is trying to talk on the phone still being under the influence general anesthesia...you can say some prettttyyy straaannnnggeee things. :)
What are you? A dedicated teacher or what? You only took three days off of work after that shoulder procedure! Ah...the life of an educator. I hope you are doing well. Sound pretty rough. I think childbirth was easier than what you just went through.
And yes, it is okay to say my baby boy is beautiful. Thank you! He is pretty beautiful. I will have to come visit my "old stompin' grounds soon!" Take care and stay out of trouble.
