I might be gone for a bit

[ Edited ]

As some of you know I was having arm issues, and went to the ER and was given an all clear, as far as my heart ,but told to see my PCP

 

I saw her Tues, and was sent  for shoulder xrays and PT. I got a call a few minutes ago ,and the nurse told me, I have a bone spur in my shoulder, and the Dr will see how PT goes, and I will most likely have an MRI. 

 

I have been saving my arm as much as possible. I have been given Voltarin(sp) for pain, due to my stomach issues, which are better than they have been ,in a year and a half, but, I don't want to irritate my stomach lining with nsaids

 

 

 

I just wanted to bring everyone up to speed, and I hope I am not accused of being a drama queen. I was unsure if I should share or not, but ,people do wonder when you just depart ,and aren't heard from for a while.  I am confident it will all turn out OK. I miss everyone, and hope  you have an enjoyable summer. I am not sure what condition my arm will be in after PT starts next week, so I might be gone for a bit

 

God bless and keep you my dears

Take care @cherry.  I wish you the best with your arm. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I'm so sorry you're having problems with your arm.  I hope the PT is able to help.  Sometimes PT helps tremendously.  I hope nothing else is wrong with it.

            Thanks for letting us know, @cherry.   We would've sent out a search party for you otherwise!   I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.   Of course you're not a drama queen -- you're a valuable member of the community, and a thoughtful and caring soul to take time and make what's probably a painful effort to put our minds at ease.   I will miss you!    Please, take gentle care of yourself and take the time you need to heal, rest, and rejuvenate.   You're in my prayers, dear (((cherry))).❤️

@cherry

 

I hope your therapy goes well for you.  I will be thinking of you and remembering you in my prayers. 

 

My mom has a small tear in her rotator cuff.  They don't want to operate on it because of her age.  Therapy seems to be helping to give her a bit more strength in that arm although her movement is somewhat limited.  I am so impressed with all her therapy and how much better she is.  I pray the same for you.  Thanks for letting us know.  We will certainly miss you. Hopefully, you won't be away too long.

Oh dear! I do wish you the best and perfect recovery for all of this. Thanks for letting us know. I know I would wonder since I enjoy your presence here on the board and you would be missed.
