1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.  My shoulder did not pop out of socket.  Correlation?  I think so.
• 1 Day of PT
• I had a Dr. Rosen appointment.  We talked more about the future and reviewed what is in my control and what is not.  Needed that.
• I had my monthly appointment with Larry.  We also made a future plan.  I will explain more when I know more facts.
• I spent a lot of time on record request paperwork this week.

Happy Anniversary to us! 

I am proud of us. 

That pretty much sums up how I feel on our anniversary this year…and what a year it has been. 

As you can see, I did not write the piece below.  I wanted to post it though, because I find it to be a brilliant description of learning to live life with a chronic illness. 

Each time I read the following piece, I think about my specialists (especially Dr. Grubb and Dr. Lavallee) who are encouraging me to tame my gorilla.

I love the a-ha moments in life…the ones where my light bulb all of a sudden changes from pitch black to ON.

I was blessed to have two of these moments yesterday.

After much encouragement from family and friends, I am entering a contest. 

I like a challenge, I really do. 

But it is a writing contest with a very SMALL and a very STRICT word limit.
