I'm so glad that your xrays were negative but if you are still hurting I don't know if that helps or not. I hope the MRI will help them help you. When I get the very severe pain it cramps very dull into my tricep and bicep. Like if I forget and try to reach for something it feels like I've been shot in the upper arm/shoulder. I've only had a physical exam so I really don't know what is wrong. My doctor said because I had a more pain bringing my arm down than up and some other range of motion limitations that he suspects a torn rotator cuff but only an MRI can show for sure. At first the idea of having a tear and needing surgery upset me a bit but it would be nice if it turns out to be something that can be fixed with minor same day surgery. I have enough health problems that nothing can be done about other than "manage" them and I don't want this shoulder to fall into that category. I'm really upset that we messed up that appointment. My doctor would have the results by now but oh well. I have been calling daily to check for cancellations. We have two cars and they are both having problems so that doesn't help things either. One car just needs a new battery but it costs an awful lot so we will have to wait until the behinning of the month when I get my social security. Anyway, I hope they can help you and can help you soon. I remember you said that cortisome shots gave you relief, can you get more if needed? For me the constant pain has lessened some but then I forget and do stupid things and it will then feel like a bomb has gone off. I've never been shot but I'd guess it's a similar feeling. I hope we both find some permanent relief soon. I hate to always have to ask for help for little and mundane things and I don't like that you are hurting. You are a very kind friend and I really appreciate that.

As for collections, right now I am doing rather well. I still visit so I get those items and this event room is the tool eater the last three were so I'm doing much better there now as well. I gift about every other day now as I do go through all wishlists and send as much as I can and it takes me about 2 hours but it's nice to be able to feel like I can finally give back a bit now. Pay forward all of the kindness I have received over time even if in a small way. Thanks so much for asking though!!!!!

You take care as well!!!
