  July is almost over and I haven't written on my blog at all. Sorry about that but nothing new is really happening so....just didn't write.

My shoulder is getting better but still bothers a lot at nights. Sleeping is the hardest thing to do with a broken shoulder. Dr. said it was healing well but not quite there yet so have to go back 1 more time. I have been doing my PT at home so am getting use of my arm back...mostly. Certain things still hurt. Dr. said I would never get back all the dexterity but I will be able to manage. Doing my PT one day I had a really hard tumble. I was using the elastic bands and it popped off the machine and threw me back against a steel door! I landed on my butt, elbow and the back of my head hit the door. It knocked me a bit coo coo for a minute but after I sat a minute I started moving legs, etc. and figured nothing was broken this time. But I still have a knot on the back of my head, but bruises on hip and elbow are gone. I don't do that anymore! 

Our summer is finally here,  I think. We have the coldest, wettest summer ever. But this week has been nice and next week is supposed to get in the 90's. We don't have air conditioning but when you get older the cold seems to bother us more than the heat. That is why I wear hoodies most of the year!

We still are not going out much and when we do, we wear a good mask. It is great that you can order and pick up. With gas prices I order and we pick up after a Dr. appt. So don't even make a special trip. Plus the Amazon truck comes quite often! I have figured out we actually save money doing this because when you go into a grocery store I always see several things I did not have on my list and end up in my cart!

My husband is mowing constantly because we have so much to mow. If it gets hot the grass will quit growing so he can get some relief. 

I can't believe my desktop computer is still working! My grandson built it for me about 15 years ago. He has updated it a bit, SSD hard drive and a video card had to be replaced for Windows 10. But it doesn't meet Windows 11 so I guess I will just use it till they don't update Windows 10. He says he can't upgrade it any more. I can't afford a new desktop so don 't know what I am going to do. I can't really design on my laptop. And I have several programs that I use all the time that don't meet Windows 11, either....so am keeping my finger crossed! Maybe I will go before the computer! I have till Oct. 2025!

Still working on updates. I know some people like their theme to have the white or lighter toolbar areas but I am choosing to not use those on my themes. 

I am going to sign off for today. I hope you are all well and having a good summer. Please stay safe. I know many people that won't wear masks but if you want to protect yourself and your loved ones...please do when you are in stores or crowds.

Have a super August.

  3. Dear MaDonna,
    Thank you for your post. I pray the pain in your shoulder goes away, I knew the importance of a good shoulder for sleep when I had pains in mine. A lot of people are getting healed with the healing streams ... check it out July 29-31st

  4. So happy you are continuing to improve. At OUR ages, recovering from any trauma can be problematical. I totally understand about trying to sleep with the shoulder pain. Experienced same problem when had to have rotator cuff surgery and sleep in a special splint. Continue to improve and try not to push yourself too quickly. Best wishes to both you and your husband.
