Surgery

On March 6th I had rotator cuff surgery....I had injured it a year before, tried denying it's existence for awhile. But, it got worse and worse. Finally went to the Dr. got x-rayed, did pt for six weeks, then got the MRI, then a month later had surgery. Now two and a half months later, my shoulder is frozen. I was doing pt 3x a week! And doing my exercises at home. Pt team is frustrated, Dr is confused, sending me to another Dr. I just want to use my arm again. Heard about Graston therapy yesterday, researched it, found a Dr in the area, calling tomorrow. Meds aren't helping, I don't like taking them. I want results. This school year for my girl has been a tough one. Common core started. Her teacher doesn't understand dyslexia. The SPED teacher had to resign for medical reasons and the school kept rotating substitute teachers. When I finally had enough, I went up and made a meeting happen with one of the principles. He took notes, set up another meeting with her IEP team. I lost my temper at that one. The head principle set up another meeting with me a week to give her time to get the situation figured out. When I arrive at the meeting, the first words out of her mouth were 'I'm sorry' Wow! She discovered that they had messed up royally. Missing records, goals not met. She fixed some issues, changed some of the procedures. 'What else can we do for you?' Gotta love when they know they've screwed up and are ready to kits your ass. Now the big decision, to go back there next year or homeschool. I really want to try unschooling, we'll see what happens this summer. Now, back to doing my pt.
