3. I'm thrilled to hear about your ankle!

Me and my troublesome shoulder are hanging in there, waiting for Friday! I'll see my doc then, and THEN he will tell me if I can lose this god damned sling/immobilizer!

It is really getting hard dealing with it. I can't drive or cook or put my hair up!

I do take the sling off for showers (doc said OK!) and then I use my arm. Cautiously but I do use it. It seems to be working the way it's supposed to without any slipping in the joint.

I'm very hopeful.

Sorry to carry on so much! And thanks for reading, if you got this far. I guess I needed to vent.
