First the not so good, or kinda not so bad: my shoulder injury is most consistent with a partial tear of the supraspinatus muscle, one of the rotator cuff muscles and the one that covers the bursa or capsule of the shoulder joint. It's possibly been tearing in little bits over a long time- after all, I started working in jobs where what I mostly did was lift people and move furniture when I was 12- but I did something in my last 10 days at work that aggravated it. So, here we are. There are exercises that will help. Rest, Ice, NSAIDS (for me, Naprosyn) and exercise for the next two weeks and then we'll see. *sigh* I miss the lad. I really do. And I whacked off about 10" of hair because I couldn't get my arm up high enough to pile it all on top of my head...I'm glad it's naturally curly and grows fast, but I miss my hair. *dramatic sigh* (lol)

The good news is, the physical therapist said that as long as there is no prolonged or heavy or over-head lifting with my right arm involved, I can re-open the bookshop. Which is very pleasing, because I have lots of good home-schooling books (Usborne and others); classics, out-of-print reference books, and so on. So if you're needing books, or, indeed, anything from Amazon, go in through my bookshop EnjoyIt! and if you buy, I get referral points, too.

Ok, I've got my cellie set to remind me every half hour to go play with my new toys: a stretchy band, over-door pulleys, and putty [my physical therapist gave me TOYS, how cool is THAT?] so, must be off and go have fun in a good cause.
