catch up

ok time to catch up. all its been is dr's dr's & dr's. Mom had a MRI a few weeks ago & boy did she screw the pooch! There are 4 muscles holding your shoulder in place she 's torn 2 of those. 1 Has slid down some & is causing a slight bulge in her upper arm. the rotator cuff is torn in 2 places & the cup that holds the ball joint is torn. Dr E told her she has permanent loss but doesn't know how much yet. I really like this dr. he is not a proponent of surgery . He's been telling us that leaving the rotator cuff alone does more good than surgery. He is sending us to an ortho surgeon because it IS an option & he wants her to have all her options out there ON the table. haven't been there yet. am setting here watching it sleet. wonderful.
Other than that, its been quiet. gonna start getting ready for valentines day soon. gosh seems like there should be more but cain't think of it now. oh well maybe later!

all this excitment!!

well lets see, ~~~~ my mom fell DEC 4th @ her job & dislocated her shoulder. I went & got her & she's been with us ever since. On my b/d weekend we went to Fredericksburg & San Marcus shopping . Got the last of my xmas except for my favs( yep u know who you are ) delivered xmas flowers right up to xmas eve @ 2pm. Thanks mackie do! Santa brought me a rocker from the cracker barrel & all kinds of goodies. Then the 29th Mom & Me took Mac to fredericksburg to sight see. We went to the pioneer museum & out to LBJ's ranch & over to Johnson City to see his boyhood home Then we did the Nimitz & Pacific war museums. It was all awesome.Went to luchenbach & got Mac a tee & a hat. A palm straw hat with lacing around the brim. No Les, not frilly lace, sewing stitches round the brim looks good with her new boots.
Carol & I got mom a garvin so she wont get lost much (yea right!) any who I owe phone calls maybe this weekend?
