My "IMpossible" Medical Journey: November 2014

My "IMpossible" Medical Journey. Saturday, November 29, 2014. The Night My Right Shoulder Changed. August 15, 2012. My nieces and I taking our picture in front of the flight for life helicopter. After a wonderful time at the camp we went back to our hotel. We went to Timber Ridge Lodge in Lake Geneva. There is a waterpark there which my nieces thought was amazing. It's a great place for kids and I would highly recommend it. Smile for the camera :). There's a first for everything! The emergency room visit.

My "IMpossible" Medical Journey. Sunday, February 2, 2014. The Gut Feeling is Back 2014. As I watched the hours go by on the clock all I kept thinking was, "Come on! As you can see there is quite a difference in motion. Now the question is WHY? Honestly, I don't know. I've had no imaging of my neck so I don't know if there is any issue there. I'm seeing my physical therapist tomorrow to have him evaluate things. I already sent these pictures to my doctors and I'm waiting for a response. Thursday January ...

My "IMpossible" Medical Journey. Sunday, November 10, 2013. An Important Lesson 2013. Okay, I lied. This post was supposed to be about what happened in 2011. Before I do that, I have to discuss something more important first. I've learned a very hard lesson. Just because you are a relative to someone doesn't mean they have your back. Hopefully people can take an important lesson away from this post. Https:/ www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/cn33/my-impossible-medical-journey-fund. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

My "IMpossible" Medical Journey: April 2014
http://myimpossiblemedicaljourney.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
My "IMpossible" Medical Journey. Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Thankful for Dr. K. He picked it up and moved it over so he could evaluate my shoulder. After doing so, Dr. K asked me if he had to wait till Christmas morning to open up his gift or if he could open it now. I chuckled and said, "You have to open it now! On the plaque it says, "Dr. K thank you for walking. This journey with me". It ended up not being the last surgery on my right shoulder BUT I can still. Be a break from all this surgery. About 18 ...

My "IMpossible" Medical Journey. Wednesday, January 21, 2015. 2015: Let the "Fun" Begin. I've been contemplating on what I should write and I've decided to write a current update because I'm having surgery next week and writing is a coping tool for me; I know I'll "feel better" once I get it off my chest. As I reflect back on 2014 the first thing that comes to mind is: what a long, hard, crazy, exhausting roller-coaster year! Http:/ www.pinterest.com/pin/362047257519360343/. November 17, 2014.

My "IMpossible" Medical Journey: Trust Your Gut
http://myimpossiblemedicaljourney.blogspot.com/2014/12/trust-gut.html
My "IMpossible" Medical Journey. Tuesday, December 23, 2014. The pictures below are from March 6, 2013. Almost four months after surgery and that's the amount of motion I had with the "help" of the cortisone. I could/still can only move my arm this far. To this day, I can only raise my arm this high before I get the sharp/stabbing pain. I took the semester off from school because I had a ton of rehabilitation ahead of me. The lack of motion makes it really hard to do basic functional tasks. April 9, 2013...

My "IMpossible" Medical Journey: 2015 A Special Kind of Strength
http://myimpossiblemedicaljourney.blogspot.com/2015/05/2015-special-kind-of-strength.html
My "IMpossible" Medical Journey. Saturday, May 16, 2015. 2015 A Special Kind of Strength. You know when you have certain medical tests done, or sometimes before being wheeled back to the operating room for surgery, patients sometimes choose to have a shot of medication to help them relax and block out their memory? It's very strange, isn't it? Feb 7, 2015. Let's not kid ourselves- not a flattering picture. Heat on my right so my shoulder unlocks, ice on. May be because I zoomed in and my eyes have. There...

My "IMpossible" Medical Journey. Friday, January 17, 2014. How Do You Deal With Pain? Over the past couple weeks, I've been contacted by some very nice people who have read my blog posts. One of the questions that keeps coming up is, "How do you deal with your pain? My mom offered to help me make my smoothie but. Sometimes it's harder to ask for help instead of doing it myself. Modifying at its best. My nephew Justin is too heavy. For me to hold with my arms. In order to hold him, I sit on. Find somethin...

Below is how I ended up decorating my brace. I really love the encouraging words on the straps. I painted on HOPE. They're daily reminders. I think of it like putting on my straps of armor. Then of course I have some Chicago Blackhawks hockey pride! January 28, 2015. Weird fun fact- this was my first surgery EVE...
