Thanks Lickety. Morning babblers. Nowadays I am surprised if babble works. Was again a bust yesterday.

12:40 am

cybernan

crashing - good night

1:15 am

grannyrose

cooee dear sprite. how are you doing with the broken shoulder? do you know if healing has actually taken place? i.e. x-rays? what does Dr. say?

1:40 am

sprite

hiiiiii sweetie!

1:41 am

sprite

sorry, had to go potty. No, no Xrays yet, will be a few more weeks before I have to be back in the hospital for them. Dr says to only do the tiny exercises and wait until then. Of course, I don't have that much patience and do what I can.

1:43 am

grannyrose

please don't push it honey. you don't want to go backwards. any incorrect movement may move the healing fracture, and then it won't heal properly.

1:43 am

sprite

yeah I try to find the sweet spot between keeping it still and moving it enough.

1:44 am

grannyrose

and the pain?? how is that nowadays?

1:45 am

sprite

manageable. During the day I only take paracetamol anymore, in the night still the naproxen. I have two big ones left, will try and see how a normal one works this night, might be doable. And I do without the sling for most of the day, doing the tiny exercises and making sure the shoulder will not freeze up.

1:46 am

sprite

and how is my busy bee rose doing?

1:48 am

grannyrose

be careful of doing without the sling honey. i wish you wouldn't try that. any involuntary movement....blah, blah. i'll shut up now.

1:49 am

sprite

lol the only one who has faith in my ability to read my body is my former pt. I am careful, honey. I only do the movements the dr gave me orders for. I just do them oftener.

1:49 am

grannyrose

still busy. i cannot believe the level of my motivation seems to have gone through the roof. i am up and down out of my chair so many times. plus i have two knittings projects on the go.

1:49 am

WTG SPRITE !!

1:50 am

sprite

take care of my bestie! It's great to feel motivated but don't overdo things. You want to keep going, not crash

1:50 am

grannyrose
