Now What?

In June, I had a complete shoulder joint replacement. This is my dominant arm, I had the left one replaced last summer.  Even though it's the exact same surgery as last time, this has been a completely different experience. I had absolutely no pain last time, but this time, I have. Not horrible, I have a pretty high threshold for pain. It's more of a constant ache and I'm tired of the whole healing process. Ugh! I want my life back!!
Anyway, now I think I've done something to my newest healing shoulder and have even gone back to wearing my sling. Ugh!! I am so bummed! To add to my frustration, my husband and I are flying to Texas on Monday to see our beautiful grand baby. She's our one and only and we've only seen her once, when she was about a month old. I would so dearly love to hold her, but I can't. I'll be unable to lift anything at all until January 2012. However, we'll be going back to Texas again for Christmas and I want to be healed (and strong) enough to hold her then, if she'll let me. :) She'll probably be walking by then and won't hold still long enough to let me hold her.
Okay, that feels better, I got that off my heart.
On to other things....
Last Christmas our son and daughter-in-law gave us a very generous gift of living room furniture. We finally got around to shopping and found the perfect set at, of all places, IKEA! It was all delivered yesterday and I'm stoked. I'm itching to have it all put together, but, unable to do it myself, I must be patient. My sweet daughter put one of the chairs together last night and it's wonderful! Also, I found the perfect accent pillows at Target. For 1/2 price! I am totally excited to see this room all together. Haven't any pics yet, but tomorrow...
