Over Two Months

Hey everyone! It's been over 2 months since I've posted. It's been a long and sometimes trying time but it was Christmas in The Salvation Army.

In the midst of it all I had my first "surgery" on my shoulder - no cutting they just had to manipulate it and break it free. A month of physical therapy which although a bit painful at times I actually enjoyed strengthening my arm again. Now that I have almost full range of motion back in the shoulder I will go in again in about 3 or 4 weeks (I find out the 5th) so that they can fix the tear in my rotator cuff and one in my bicep. If it weren't for the tear in my bicep they could just scope it but because of the way it is they will have to make a cut about an inch and a half long to fix it. Physical therapy this time will be 6 to 9 months and much harder they say. They are confident though since my range of motion is so much better now that they expect a full healing and I can go back to some boxing and lifting as long as I don't go nuts with it.

I went to see the Cleveland Cavaliers with my great nephews and niece - we sat next to other people from Rogers, Ar and a Basketball Star from Rogers High School won 3 Televisions in a shooting game between quarters. Tonight we go see the Suns and then New Years Eve we see the Golden State Warriors - I love living in a town with the NBA even if our team loses ALL THE TIME!!!! I occasionally get to see Steven Hill who played for the U of A doing things around town and The Salvation Army gets free tickets allot.

To all my friends "May your new year be a blessed one!" Kari
