Thank you all for your kinds words of encouragement. Sorry I haven't been around very much....haven't had much to say really. Been busy doing the Christmas preparation and all, and my back to work program.
Well I have been back since last Friday I have only been able to manage four 4 hrs shifts. My shoulder hurts all the time. I keep doing the exercises physio has shown me and actually when I saw her last I reviewed what I was doing to make sure I was using the proper technique, but wow I hurt. Today I worked 4 hrs and will be going off to physio shortly. I think part of my problem is the driving. You see I have to drive 50 mins before I even start work, that static position is just not good for me. I reposition myself, moved the seat up and down forward and back as the same with the steering wheel. It has now been suggested that I pull over and take a rest. Well if I am going to do that I am going to leave my house even earlier, as it is I give myself an hour to get to work. Anyhow, that what is going on with my shoulder, I have met with the powers that be and will meet again with them next week to review my progress. I am remaining optimistic, that all I can do.
On another note, I got my final grade for my course......drum roll please......I got an A+.....I can't believe it. I thought oh they've got the wrong person here....but nope it was my paper and presentation that was marked. I am really doing the happy dance. My hubby was sleeping on the couch when I opened the envelope....I said "hey I got an A+" He grunted....I am hoping he will be a little more enthusiastic for me when he wakes up. If my mom were alive I would call her, but instead I sent a text message to my middle daughter she got right back to me....doing the happy dance is for sure. I am going to take an English courses in January and I was hoping a nursing course but I don't think that is going to happen. I have volunteered for our local Hospice society and have to take their 6 week course come January, so I thought I should make my plate to full. So there's my educational update.
Hubby has his long awaited surgery tomorrow. To be honest I am scared and happy at the same time. I am so happy he is getting it done because he has been in excruciating pain since the dislocation in September and constant pain since he was hit by the car almost 2 years ago. But tomorrow it will be done. I am scared one just for the simple fact that he has to have surgery....I know this has been done a bazillion times before but he is my hubby and well.....I just worry....the other is the post op pain I know he is going to have and the long road to recovery that lays ahead, but at least it is recovery, this is a positive.

I will be praying for a successful surgery and wonderful recovery with as little pain as possible for him. I will also keep you and your shoulder in my prayers.
Congrats on the A+.......I know how much that means to you. I am so happy for you, but then you deserve it after all the hard work you put in to get it! ;) You are a very smart gal!!!
Hugs, my dear friend!
I am wishing your husband and yourself a blessed surgery and recovery.Tell him to stay on top of the pain and take all of the pain medicine he can have after surgery.What is wrong with your shoulder?? Did you have a MRI?? I had a RCR on my right shoulder three years ago, when I tore 3 tendons, after a fall .Give your husband my best wishes for today. Baba
Best wishes to hubby with surgery today. I hope you can recover without a little of the same.
Taking a break on the way to work sounds insane.
So sorry to hear your shoulder is still giving you so much angst. Considering the distance to get to work, maybe you do need to take more disability time.
My sister, who's a nurse, is always the one the most scared about any family member going in for surgery. I guess it's because you know all the things that "could" go wrong, but never do. Keep the faith! I'm sure hubby will come through just fine.
CONGRATS on your A+...when I went back to university while still teaching, I found that I still "had it" too. Pulled off straight A's. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? hah!
I hope your shoulder starts to feel better soon. Congratulations on the A+! I hope your hubby's surgery goes well also. Take it easy as best you can. :o)
WoooooHooooo on the A+! Way to go You!!! At least you got a grunt out of the husband - when I tell him I got an A in my course, I'm lucky if I even get a response LOL
I will keep you and your husband in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh...I forgot to mention that I put up a little Christmas quiz on my site so pop over if you have a minute and give it a try.
A+...AWESOME! Way to show the younguns how it's done.
I do hope all went well with your hubby's surgery...my prayers are with you all at this time!! Oh dear, your shoulder certainly has been giving you grief and I really don't envy you the drive to and from work, that truly makes a long day even longer. Congratulations on the A+...doing the happy dance with you:-) xox
That A+ is fantastic Mary Ann! Keep on with the therapy - takes a good while for that stuff to finally kick in and do the trick at times I think and here's hoping for nothing but the very best for your husband with the surgery. You two can then commiserate together with your shoulders both being injured/operated on, etc. Just take care, Kid!
Sorry to hear that your shoulder is still bugging you.
Congratulations on the A!
I hope all went well with the surgery.
Sorry to hear your shoulder is still a problem. Best wishes to your hubby for his op - hope everything goes well.
Congratulations on your A result - well done you.
I pulled a 89% on my A&P final and not one male in my house cared. I've learned to get my support (about school) from my female friends. I also ended up with a 3.6 in the stupid required drama class.
Congrats on your A+!! That's awesome!
