ICC,
You are the reason I started posting on the PTSD forum. I used to read your stuff on the Fibro one, then I saw that you posted here. I lurked for awhile, then got brave and popped in.
Love you & miss you,
Sid
PS.... I just hope that you are ok, emotionally, physically, and mentally.....I just hope that ALL of you is OK....

Dear Grasshopper:
I really hope that things are going well with you, yet wonder if there is any truth to the saying" no news is good news."
Take care, my friend and God Bless.

Morning all and thank sfor the caring and concern. I am pooped. The pain is growing old and getting on my last nerve. Was a little down for the last couple of days. Nothing to worry about just disgusted. It will be 8 weeks this Friday and I guess I thought I would be further along than I am. I start more aggressive PT tomorrow. Am trying to keep in mind that this surgery can take 6 months to totally heal. AM keeping my age and personal health issues in mind and not expecting miracles but it's getting to me all the same. Am starting to lose interest in everything as it's an effort to even shower. It's hard to type , it tenses my arm and neck muscles. I care about all of you, just have to do things hit or miss right now. Still nauseous for 8 weeks off and on. The swelling above my collar bone has me bugged, I have a bad neck to begin with and the pulling from the swelling just makes it worse. I have talked to the surgeon and PT and they don't feel at this point there is a problem. Will see when I see the surgeon on the 3rd. Still waiting fro a decision from the Judge. Just really tired. I 've been a tropper through it all and fell I have worn myself out. Probably.

Dear ICC:
Rest well my friend, as I know that the answers will be revealed.................
Freak that:
You've been a rock for me as well as others on this board on many an occassion and if my Grasshopper is hurting, I feel it to.
As my pain reaches new levels, I put into perspective that others are going through the same things that I am and am humbled by this knowledge.
I realize there are those that aren't really into religion and I respect that but if I feel the spirit move me to pray for each and every one of the board's members, I will do so; like now.
I need to; for me.
I now have a cane and a "state of the art" back brace for support.
Shucks.......................(choked with emotion)
all I want to say is that I hope you feel better soon.
Grasshopper..........
even though you might be in an ICC type of mood.
Take care
God Bless
Sincerely stated,
Ryan

Dear Ryan,
I know there are some of you who truly understand the physical pain. I am a trooper (spelling stinks though) and am truly trying to keep my head above water. I accepted my limitations a long time ago, grieved what my body had become and learned to love the one I'm in now. It's just so exhausting as you well know doing anything. I have no interest in doing crap because even a shower, bower, or bath makes it all hurt more. Not to say I don't shower:jester: Funny how you noticed I'm in the ICC mode. Wonder what that's all about??????? I am glad you have the brace and the cane and am hoping both are helping somewhat. I'm in a different place than you are right now with the legal issues. All has been in the Judge's hands for a decision for over 60 days now. I'm just waiting. You all no I have no patience and waiting for the Judge, waiting for the arm to heal, is just tiring me out. Had fun with the grandkids yesterday for Father's Day. Was able to enjoy them. My Grandson was somewhat sad and Nannie was the only one able to make him smile again. That always warms my heart. I am also religious and pray like there'e no tomorrow for all of you and your special needs. It takes me most of the day to heat, exercise and then ice my shoulder several times. In the meantime I sort of sit there and stare into space. Was going to make an appt. with my PCP because I felt Friday I was getting depressed and remembered that there is nothing I can take due to my BP meds. So I will keep my mind strong and work through it all with the help of my friends.
Hugs,
Grasshopper:)

Dear Grasshopper:
I just want you to know that your struggle is felt.
Family is a great support at times like this and you know that you can "Lean on Me" whenever you need to.
In fact, the entire "family" here also but you already know that.
The Grasshopper will be up and about soon enough.
Rest on a physical and psychological level is always a good thing.
Take care and God Bless.
Sincerely and Respectfully stated,
Ryan

ICC,
I don't know how you can stand it. I would be outta my mind by now. Just being cooped up would drive me battier than I already am. Being in pain on top of it. NOPE!!! I would have been at my surgeons office CAMPED OUT on the floor till I got an earlier appointment. I would have demanded to know why in the hell I am still in so much pain after 2 months. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!
Oh I feel so much better now. Good thing you are taking those showers still. I thought I smelled something the other day!!!!!!!:p :p :p
Love you sweetie.....PLEASE hurry up and get better.......
Love,
Wen

Hi Sid.......I'm glad you feel better for getting that out:jester: Have been in constant touch with the surgeon. This surgery or should I say 3 surgeries as that's what i had, takes a long time. From what I'm told I shouldn't even expect to be at all pain free even for a few hours until 3-4 months has gone by. THEN we're talking anywhere from 2-8 months more. Could take up to a year because of all the nerves involved. I am half out of my mind. Hubby gets me out when I feel up to it. It's just the constant pain that's getting me down. I'm working it more at home, hopefully that will move things along. Had so many bone spurs removed and the rotator cuff tear was HUGE that from what i'm told I'm doing great. It's just one of the worst surgeries you can have. Lucky me.
Hugs,
ICC
