Where does the time go?

I am the WORST blogger LOL! Sometimes I wonder why I even bother. Does anyone even read this?

Any whooo, I have been feeling not so good for a few weeks now. It started in early November with a pulling sensation in my right shoulder - I thought I just pulled a muscle and it would be gone in couple days - whatever right?

I was in some pretty serious pain by Thankgiving - all up and down my arm so I finally went to the doctor and he said it was bicipital tendonitis and gave me a cortisone shot in the front of my shoulder - OUCH!! He told me NOT to do any lifting at all with it. The shot helped for a few days but then the pain was worse - I could hardly move my arm at all. So I went back to the doctor and he scheduled me to see an orthopedist. HE said I have what is called a
  • frozen shoulder
  • . It could take a long time to heal :( I did get another cortisone shot in the top of my shoulder and have begun stretching excercises to regain some motion since not using my arm was the WRONG thing to do despite the pain.

    I am feeling a little better since the second shot and I hope I can do some scrapping this weekend, and work on some new kit designs - but I am slower than ever now! I did this page a few days ago - my sweet little grandniece and her Dad:
