And then I will get the word whether or not I can lose this shoulder immobilizer/sling that has been part of me for four weeks...

Oh, how I hope!

To be continued.

1. Best of luck, Peg!

I hope you get to lose it and that everything is working nicely this time!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Thank you, my dear pinboy...

It feels as though it's working perfectly without any slipping, so I'm hoping...

3. Vibes that you are healed.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thanks, my dear applegrove!

[Fridays Child]

5. Fingers crossed for you.

If I weren't typing, mine would be crossed too!

7. I thought you were posting song lyrics

since the first sentence rhymes. Good luck CP!

8. You should have seen it before she shortened it to fit in a subject line

"Hickory, dickory, dock, I just looked up at my clock, and realized that in 12 hours, I'll be seeing my orthopedic doc..."

They don't call her the DU Lounge Poet Laureate for nothin'!

9. Good luck, Peggy!

We'll be sending good thoughts!

10. Thinking of you today Peggy! Hope it comes OFF! nt

[LisaLynne]

11. Let us know how it goes!

Hopefully you can get rid of it!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. **Update**

I am done with the sling!

He said the shoulder looks good, and I no longer need to be restrained in the sling!

I start physical therapy next week!

The only thing he wants me to avoid at all possible is reaching around my back.

I can do that.

Thanks, everybody, for your vibes and for standing by me as I get through all this mess!

14. This report is anything but graceless; CaliforniaPeggy is now braceless

15. You ARE in a rhyming mood, my dear pinboy!

I love it!

It feels really good to have my entire arm free!

[csziggy]

16. That is great!

I'm sure you are more than ready for your PT! Be careful until then. Don't do much real life just the virtual kind!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Believe me, my dear csziggy, I am being ultra-careful!

I did go dinner shopping, and made a simple dinner tonight. Wow, and it felt wonderful to be functioning in my kitchen again!

Driving felt good too...

I did take a nice nap this afternoon...

And I have been online since we finished watching the news after dinner!

Not to worry, sweetie...

Thank you!
