I was fortunate to see the orthopaedic surgeon last week at our fracture clinic. The visit to emergency fast-tracked me. The ortho sent me for physio for the next 6 weeks until I see her again and she can review my MRI (which is tomorrow).

Went for my first physio appointment yesterday - 1 hour and 20 minute assessment - extremely thorough young lady!! (I'm 34, she can't be over 25, I felt old!) She can't figure out if my rotator cuff is torn or if I just have an impinged muscle(s). So tomorrow we start passive motion. I do nothing - she moves my shoulder for me to it's extreme reaches and we'll try to get it moving again. It was a painful visit and I didn't sleep well last night. I'm not really looking forward to tomorrow...

And more good news, I can drive!! Hurray!! The mornings are often rainy so it is much nicer to be able to drive to physio as it is almost 3 miles one way. I can certainly walk it, but if it's raining I don't usually walk.

I'm going to enjoy a well deserved cup of herbal tea and relax for a while. Hubby has me going through all of my 20+ totes of craft stuff in the basement.... ugh... two hours down there this morning. I'm done!

Thanks to everyone for your comments and support, as always.
