Well, the other shoulder has gotten worse and now I need to have it taken care of. Tomorrow morning I will have surgery at St. Josephs Medical Center/University of Maryland (or whatever it is called now) to do a total shoulder replacement on my left shoulder. It has been just about 1-1/2 years since I had the right one done and have known all along that I would need this surgery. If it is like the last one, the worst part is all the physical therapy. Also, I am not looking forward to not being able to drive again!!! My only hope is that this one will go quicker since it is my left shoulder.
So, what have I been doing leading up to the surgery. Well, with all the record high temperatures, I have been sweltering. Aside from that, I have been mostly cleaning my house, catching up on my gardening and doing paperwork - I needed to get done everything that needs two hand to accomplish! I won't be able to make origami or crochet for quite a while. I did get to have lunch/dinner with a few friends in the last few weeks and of course, and it is always fun to catch up with friends over a meal. I also made some chicken salad for my family. Sometimes I think that "chicken salad maker" is all that my family thinks that I do anymore! :) I will miss cooking and baking during my recovery - it is difficult to cook or bake with one arm. Although, in all this heat, I have not been cooking or baking much. Hopefully, I will be able to type with one hand, so I will give everyone an update in a few days!
