Frozen Shoulder Be Gone!

So for the past two years or so, I've had a frozen shoulder. Officially, it's called Adhesive Capulitis but the long and short of it is that my right arm would not swing backwards or go behind my back. The doctor thinks it originated when Sherie and I were putting up ceiling tiles in what was then her shop and is now my ice cream store. And it hurt like heck to do simple things like scrunch your arm up to put on a seat belt or pull up your pants -- both things I did quite frequently.

The doctor has been putting steroid shots in it every 3 months since I first hurt it. Enough of that since the pain was increasing we went to Step 2. Thursday afternoon Dr. Goris manipulated my arm while I was soundly sedated. As in -- broke off all the adhesions. The nurse said it sounded like a bowl of Rice Krispies with all the snaps, crackles and pops. But after it was done -- I could immediately move my arm places it hasn't been in years.

It's not even sore really. So I'm marking that into the success catagory. Following up with some physical therapy from my favorite local therapist and I'll be good to go.

Billski's foot is healing nicely, but the doctor thinks he will be off work till February 21st. That's a long vacation to be on when you can't do anything fun. He's cooking dinner every night and helping the kids keep the house clean. If he would take over schooling them..........nah, that's just a dream.

I'm ready for winter to be over. The few days we've had of good weather have been awesome days at the shop. I think summer is going to be very busy at Bits & Pieces!
