July 8

Started the day off with laundry, running errands and then a manicure/pedicure.    Had 3:00 therapy with Diane and got a bit more info on the shoulder.  Because of the surgery to remove screw, it's all taking longer for the healing and manipulation to work (at this point, we're not sure how much scar tissue still remains, but definitely still have some).   So....we'll just keep plodding along for at least another 2-3 months.   I've not had Diane for several weeks and she's so nice and down-to-earth, so this "heart-to-heart"  was good, even though it wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear!    Once I get the final range of motion (or as much as I'm going to get,) then we start strengthening exercises!

Candy, our backyard neighbor invited us for ribs tonight and what a delight to be in her beautiful garden setting on a lovely summer evening.    Neighbors Sue and Saul joined us for a bountiful feast starting with frosty margaritas and quesadillas, followed by ribs, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans and Mexican corn bread.................................all ending with warm blueberry cobbler and ice cream!    We are about to burst, but what good food and chatter throughout the evening!    THANK YOU, Candy!!!

"Range of Motion" sounds like a good name for a Rock Band! When this is all over maybe we can start one? Love you, Debbi
