We’re on the same wavelength, even from across the Pond, Kay! And yes, I keep thinking to myself, “next year my knee will not feel like this….” It’s a way to cope. God bless your weekend, dear friend. xoxo

It must be something in the air Julie, but in the past fortnight Alan and I have also both updated our wills! And Alan has added my name to the house deeds just to make everything easier to sort out later on. These things need to be sorted out, don’t they? Then we can forget all about them.
It sounds like your knee recovery has been a nightmare! One of our favourite phrases when we’re going through a tough time is ‘This time next week/month/year …..’ I suppose it sounds like we’re wishing our lives away at times, however, as Christians we have eternal life so there’s no problem there! 🙂
God bless you and Michael. xxoo

In reply to Tauni.

I’m so sorry to learn your healing is so slow as well Taun. You’re on The Shoulder Train! Maybe our two trains are heading to the same place and we’ll see each other there…hopefully it won’t be years. 🙂 As always, your optimistic attitude is amazing and a blessing to me. Thank you. xoxo

Hey there my friend, take a little heart, I too am progressing at a snail’s pace. I went to my ortho doc this past Wed. and I am in a sling for at least another six weeks. Still no physical therapy either. I now have a “frozen shoulder” which I am learning is typical of my injury due to the lack of movement so the bone can continue to heal. Because my break is at the distal tip of my clavicle it is very easy for the newly formed bone to work its way away from the bone structure it is attempting to adhere to. I am grateful I have learned that being a patient patient is a successful way of maximizing the benefits of healing an injury and that the ultimate results are well worth the wait! My doctor indicated as well, it is a very long process but that it will be better in the long run. Hang in there my friend!! I feel your pain ~ all the way around!!
