Frozen shoulder

Here it is getting nice and warm, and the doctor told Gary today he has a frozen shoulder. He finally went to the clinic today for an injury done 6 months ago. He decided it was time to do something about it since he is no longer able to lift his left arm above chest level. He knows he hurt the arm way back in September when he was trimming trees, but kept hoping it would just get better on its on. The doctor prescribed either applying heat and slowly moving it more and more each day, or go to a physical therapist for $75/hour. The visit to the dr. was also a time to tell the dr. about David's plans for med school. David shadowed this dr. last summer for a while to see if he could handle the blood and guts part of medicine.

Everything's Bigger in Texas

Even the friendly caterpillars are bigger here.

And speaking of Texas, the Rangers stated their season tonight. I should go to bed, but I want to know if they're going to win.

Today at Church

I was happy
  • to hear a 10-year old ask for prayer for a Jehovah's Witness friend.
  • to see all the fathers holding their children.
  • to hear of a newly adopted child excited because she gets to have cake at her 9th birthday later this week.
  • to hear an older man give thanks for his wife of 44 years as they celebrated their anniversary today.
  • to sing, though some of it wasn't my favorite music.
I was sad to hear more details of the murders of a missionary couple in South America. They were close friends of some folks at church. The FBI is investigating.

We didn't get to stay for the sermon; off to the airport again.
