And the Saga Continues . . .

I had my post MRI appointment yesterday. Other than tendonitis, it might be something called frozen shoulder phenomenon. It's a phenomenon because the medical community doesn't fully understand it. It's when the fibers in the membrane surrounding the joint freeze up, tighten up and pull back, scarring. With physical therapy, this phenomenon goes away in most cases in a year. All of a sudden, you have full range of motion again. With either diagnosis, I will be having physical therapy to stretch my shoulder. I'm being referred to an orthopedic shoulder specialist to determine which diagnosis is true, so the exercises can be customized to my problem. If it is frozen shoulder and it doesn't unfreeze in a year, they will put me under general anesthesia and force my shoulder to have mobility. I'll keep you posted!

A few anniversaries I'd like to share with you. On August 16th, (Thursday) I enjoyed my 20th anniversary of attending New Life Christian Center. Yesterday, (Friday) Greg and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary of when we became engaged. We had dinner at Black Angus after my doctor's appointment, went to the mall and shopped for a nice purity ring for our daughter, grabbed a Slurpee at 7-11 and went to Donolly park where we sat at a picnic table, enjoyed the stars and the lake, and pretty much talked about ministry for almost 2 hours. We got home around 10:30, tired, full, and content.

Blessings to all.
