Happy Mothers Day! This has been a very busy week. I went to my doctor, a surgeon, had xrays and an MRI and found out ta da I have a torn rotator cuff. AGAIN. I knew this without any tests. I haven't been able to move my arm above shoulder height since February. Anyway, I start therapy this week to see if I can stabilize the shoulder without surgery.
Sophie was a little under the weather on Friday when her and Luke came over.She wanted a little love and bestowed a little love on her "baby". We took them to the playground but all she wanted was me or Gramps to swing with her. Luke, on the other hand, was very adventurous, and climbed to the top of the fort and went down the big curly slide by himself.
After naps, we took them to Jake's big "oh four" birthday party. Jake was SUPEREXCITED! and loved all the attention. If possible, he was even more smiley than usual. We had hotdogs on the fire and made s'mores for dessert. Just for the record, Jeff is King of the S'mores and Maddy sucks. Uncle Dale played Elefun with the kids and when I left was he was carrying Sophie around - who had regressed into her previous mood.
Today was Mother's Day. Bob bought me carnations and not to be outdone, Zach bought me TWO dozen red and yellow roses! Hannah and Molly texted me. Emily emailed and tried to reach me on chat. Da Boyz gave me a balloon bouquet and I received a sparkly card signed by Sophie and Luke. Both high tech and low tech presents pleased me very much. I am happy I was able to spend the evening with my mom in the nursing home. Happy Mother's Day to all you "muthas". You know who you are...
