Little update on my arm

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

Just an update on how things are going with my arm. First off my PT

is going okay, it's very hard and painful but I am seeing some

improvements in my external rotation already so hopefully it's all

going to be worth it. I saw the ER consultant for an assessment of

my troublesome wrist on Thursday and well, the cookie monster cast

is still in place I'm afraid! The doctor decided that because I'm

seeing Mac on the 30th, he wants me to return to see him on the 22nd

so he can remove the cast, have a good examination of my wrist and

decide what to do from their. He's warned me that it may well be a

case of sticking the thing back in plaster and letting Mac handle

things from here....Oh, I'm sure he'll be thrilled with that!!

So anyway, just in case I do need another cast, I'm trying to decide

which Muppet/sesame street character to go for next! I've had Kermit

green, big bird yellow and now cookie monster blue....any

suggestions on my next one? hee-hee

I am hoping it wont be too long before I can spend my diagnostic

hospital stay with Prof Bird now that I am starting to do rehab with

my shoulder. Prof wants me to be recovered well enough from my

surgery to undergo tests and assessments before I go down. I will

discuss the time scale with Mac when I see him at the end of the

month, but I'm guessing it will probably me late July or August now.

I will keep you posted though I promise.

On a different note, I'm afraid I am still up on that cloud of mine

thanks to Amici forever. You're probably tired of hearing this by

now, but I am just continually blown away by their kindness and

friendship. I have been knocked sideways most of the weekend by an

absolutely amazing email I received from Geoff. It was such a

lovely, touching letter from a friend who is becoming more like a

big brother to me and whose kindness just has me reeling. He threw

me completely off base yet again by doing something I am still

struggling to get my head around. Would you believe that he has

offered me tickets to another tour date or another event they are

doing later in the year, so that we can meet up again? just don't

know what to say - I'm stunned. I know this sounds crazy but I just

don' know what to say, as I would hate to turn down such a wonderful

offer from a special friend but it just feels like far too generous

a thing for him to do for me. You probably think I'm completely

stupid for having doubts about accepting Geoff's gift....but I hope

that you will understand where I am coming from. simply don't feel

as if I deserve any of this incredible kindness they are all giving,

even in response to my thanks for what they have already done for me

this year! Oh my, what an incredible friendship I have discovered.

Well that's pretty much all my news for now, I promise I will keep

you posted on how things are going and I look forward to catching up

with all too. Take care and know I'm thinking of you.

Love and hugs.....Jo
