My Mom is in a LOT of pain. She will see the orthopedic doctor this afternoon. Her arm is broken just below the ball of her shoulder. The swelling was so bad on Friday that they were unable to do anything but give her pain medication and send her home in a sling. They are hoping that the swelling will be down enough today to determine if they need to cast the arm – or to do surgery. I will keep everyone updated as I know more.
Last week I talked about making poor choices, and the consequences. I’m happy to report that my weight is headed in the right direction, and that I’m very nearly where I was before making the poor choices. It is interesting to note that it comes off a lot harder and a lot slower than it goes on. But this is an important lesson – one I would do well to remember. Perhaps the next time I have that kind of choice in front of me – I will remember how I felt after I made the wrong choice. I will think about how hard I have worked up until now, and how easy it was to lose ground. And I will especially think about how frustrating it was for me to lose again the couple of pounds I have already lost, and gained back.
