    Re: Dear So and So

    Dear Shoulder,

    For the last 3 months I've given you LOTS of attention. Physical Therapy, lots of stretches, mobility work ... You have been poked, pulled, massaged, X-rayed, manipulated, and an whole host of other things meant to increase your range of motion and strength.

    In the end, the only real improvement is you feel better (some days). Sure when PT is done l have full ROM but it does not last. I begin to wonder if this is a hopeless task and I can already hear my Dr tell me that he knew surgery would be required, (he has already implied this several times). Let's prove him wrong already, ok? Please? l do not have the money for it and living alone makes shoulder surgery more challenging than it would be if I didn't. Don't you want to act like a shoulder? That is all I ask...

    That sucks, Catrin.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    That stinks, Mimi. I hate when friends stand me up. I hope she/he makes it up to you somehow.

    I didn't necessarily mean a "he" in a romantic sense, but many of us have platonic male friends, so I wanted to account for that possibility in my comment.
