And the world smiles with ya......
The photo's aren't mine, but are just adorable. I felt like a adorable post today. Something to warm the heart since the cold - 3 weather outside isn't cutting it. And we get another blizzard like conditions with snow later today.
Don't ya just love a nice soft place to sit, LOL. We had a busy day so far. I got called early to see if I could go for my PT early. Fine with me, lets get it over with. Dressed and hit the great out doors to find - 6 degree weather. Burrrrr. Cold stuff.
PT went well but I was not having a huge amount of pain in my shoulder today until I did my therapy. One stretching exercise really hurt and I have been in more pain today then I have for a couple of days. I came home and have a warm pack on it now. Then I saw the doctor. We are going to try the therapy for another week and if no improvement I have to have another MRI. Gee, my favorite thing, NOT. So lets hope for a good week. I went off the celebrex as it was causing me stomach pains and nausea. I never felt any difference except that which is a bummer as my MIL said it was a miracle drug for her. Until it gave her blood clots in her legs that is.
Then I came home and worked on the short term disability forms. Finally called them and did all the paper work over the phone. Much easier. Last time I had my gall bladder, due to some mess up it was over a month before I got a check. Ouch, no income. So hopefully this works better.
Now I am just relaxing and tonight we are going to go out to eat with my youngest son. Texas Roadhouse. The prices are reasonable. He has been very low since the thing with losing his internet and they still haven't gotten it fixed. His roommate is staying away when Dan is awake so they haven't had a time to talk. Since they both work opposite shifts and have different days off they don't see each other often. Hope he gets it taken care of.
Tomorrow Rick gets all his tests. He absolutely has refused to take the plavix the Dr. ordered. He says if they see something on the tests he will think about it. He had such a bad experience with the coumadin that he is unbudgeable on the subject.
The drooping is gone for the most part now and he looks great. We still never head from them about the blood pressure medication. They were suppose to call yesterday and never did. Fine. We will get our tests for Rick tomorrow and then I am Doctor shopping. We know who we want to go to but I wonder. Can I go talk to them and tell them what I want from my doctor to make sure we are on the same wavelength? Do you know it has been over 2 years since I even saw my doctor. I always see someone else at the office, usually a PA which I don't mind but really. I want a doctor who knows me like in the good old days.
Well, I think I will have some tea and read for awhile. The typing one handed is going faster but still get tiresome. Ta all. Oh, check out The First Amendment blog. Some important things there. Very terrible things going on in the world. Pray for peace. Worldwide.

Great entry today and lovely pictures. Hope all goes well with your hubbies tests tomorrow. Off to play with my new camera equipment. Wish me luck. Love Joan
PT and some Depo-medrol injections helped my shoulder over a period of time. NSAID's never did a thing. We had a blizzard. Tomorrow the sub zero temps are coming. Is it spring yet???
It's been 80 here and sunny. Very much like an early Spring. What happened to our winter?? Actually, our rainy season is yet to come.
I know what you mean about your Doc. I enjoy the fact that my Doc knows me very well. He really doesn't allow me to go very long without coming in because of meds I'm on. It's important, and I hope you find a doc you are happy with.
Make your first appt to test the waters and see what he's like.
I'm glad Rick is doing better. Sorry about your shoulder.
I checked out the journal you suggested and it was absolutely scary and inhumane to see what they were up to!
What is the world coming to when human lives are valueless.
I didn't see your photos in the previous entry...boohoo!
I loved the animal photos in this entry though...bless them! Just adoreable. I coudn't make out what one of the dogs was sitting on and then I roared with laughter when I saw what it was. I hope the cat wasn't hurt.
We have had arctic conditions over here in the North of England. The lowest temps not far from here was almost - 11. Not nice!
Wish I could take away your pain forever...I hope your exercises slip everything back into position with less and less pain as you go through them.
Hope you had a lovely meal out and that Ricks results are happy ones.
Take care of you!!!
Hugs

These pictures are adorable and brought several smiles to my face. Animal pics are the best!
I sympathize with you about doctors. When we left Phoenix last year we also left our PCP and several specialists at the Mayo Clinic. Oh how I miss them! The doctor I have visited here will not be "in my employ" for very long! Which brings me to your question in your post: you most certainly may have a talk with a potential doctor and have a two way conversation to see if he/she is a good match for your needs. You hire them, not the other way around, and they appreciate the candid exchange of expectations, too.
I hope all goes well with your appointments today!
