The trip was wonderful. Sunshine, mild temps, relaxation, and fun. Snorkeling was incredible. Colorful fish, an octopus waving its arms around, and sea turtles. The turtles were especially awesome. Especially the one that swam by me unexpectedly. That moment is permanently engraved in my brain. :)
The sprained shoulder that my physician diagnosed a few months ago has been examined by a physical therapist who now informs me that I've a small tear. Good Grief. Her hope is that PT and time will be sufficient to "heal" it; although it is likely I'll be noticing the effects for the rest of my life. Interestingly, Ann told me that the "bad" move I made this fall (picking up my granddaughter) didn't really cause the injury--only made it happen sooner than later. Isn't getting old grand?!? At any rate, I am now experiencing that wonderful thing called Physical Therapy and/or Pain and Torture. I've been amazingly good at following instructions though: icing the shoulder 3 to 5 times daily, doing my exercises three times a day, and taking an anti-inflammatory.
After arriving home we traveled to Spokane to pick up our dog, Pepper. My stepson and his family took care of her while we were gone. What fun to see the twins. And good to see Pepper as well. The twins will miss her being at their home, but we assured them that a visit will be in the plans--definitely before their 3rd birthday in May. Gads--time sure flies as
life goes on.
