@soul trust tests today went ok. Thinking of you 😊

Thanks for all your kind wishes.

The accident caused extensive nerve damage to my brachial plexus when my shoulder was dislocated @outlander. Fortunately the nerves weren't severed. Just a long road of therapy ahead.

@Former-Member - last year was so bad - this one has to be better.

@TAB - I'm sure you're not as lazy as you think.

@utopia - walking was one of those things I really enjoyed doing so am keen to get back into it. I did 3 kms today.

Yep @Maggie - things do have to get better. I think I have had my share of bad stuff.

@greenpea - lots of water and veggies is a great start towards good health. I enjoy iced herbal tea. It makes water a bit more interesting.

Thanks @Shaz51 - you have always been a great support.

@Mazarita - thanks for having confidence in me. Sometimes I get sad about my situation. Just have to hope things improve.

@Faith-and-Hope - hope we both have a great year. That goes for everyone here.

@Determined - the tests are not pleasant but necessary. I'll make sure to dose up on painkillers before I head out tomorrow. 

A full day of medical stufff tomorrow. First up is a consult with the orthpedic people. The shoulder still hurts a lot - sometimes a sharp pain, other times a throbbing. Next is an occupational therapy session for my hand and after that the neuro guy wants me back for further testing on the nerve damage.

Hoping all your appts gomwell tomorrow

Hi @soul you have certainly been through the mill and most unfair that this should occur. Your shoulder injury sounds painful and inconvenient as you try to cope with same. You are a friend to all on this forum and we will be praying and hoping that the healing process is speedy. Condolences on losing your mum as I lost my mother in my early 20's and she was a great person to have around as I'm sure your mother was. 2018 has only just begun and may it hold health and contentment for you - we think highly of you - hugs from us all.

@soul@Determined@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member@Bimby2 Good morning to everyone have a fabulous day xx 🙂

Already increased your walk to 3kms. That's great @souk. Sounds like you're pushing yourself just the right amount.
I hope your tests today show that more improvement will come in the near future. But I bet you must be exhausted by all the tests.
