It's taken two years for my shoulder to come back to something close to normal, ie, I can sleep on that side without my arm going numb and it only aches when I use it in a weird direction or when the weather is shifting (like today).
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
Not complainy sj. Moving is a huge hassle.
She told me straight up it was going to hurt and gave me a ton of painkillers. I'm sleeping as much as possible and keeping it elevated. She said it could be 6-12 months before all the swelling is gone. Blah.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Poor Laura. Take the drugs, sweetheart.

Hang in there Laura. Recovery from surgery is never a lot of fun.
Congrats to Daniel and Windsparrow!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I hope your foot feels better soon, Laura.
I think I'm pms-ing. It feels like everything I do is wrong and everyone hates me and blah blah blah. Since my cycle is pretty whacked only time will tell if this is hormones, an anxiety attack, or if I really am a soon-to-be unemployed, pathetic excuse for a middle-aged cat lady. With silly hair.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Laura, take your meds and eat something with then even if you don't feel like it because it should help with the side effects.
I am waiting at the new house for the cleaners and then I need food and to beg for more boxes. I feel like a box addict looking for her next fix.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I got sold the opposite story with my shoulder surgery. "You will be able to use it right after surgery. It will be sore for a bit but then you can return to regular activity" was the message just pre-surgery. Now, 6 weeks out "Yes, it will take 3-4 months to fully recover. You will have discomfort (pain) when doing anything beyond the most basic non-weight bearing movements. Karate is not a 'normal activity'".
YAYAY to Andi and Daniel.
Best baby#2 wishes to the Glam!Fam.
I feel like I'm coming down with a cold on top of the cold I had a month ago that has never really gone away. No fair.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
sj, having moved twice in a year, moving SUCKS. You are not complainy.
Calli, you do not have stupid hair and one cat doesn't a cat lady make. You need at least eight or so. And if you are soon to be unemployed, I'd wager a week's wages that it ain't you, it's them.
Baby~ma, GC!!
Note to self - wear a respirator when cutting or routing cedar. Cannot get nasty taste out of mouth and keep sneezing.
Sorry the foot still hurts so much, Laura.
