I decided to not take my pain medicine this morning and through the day and it worked out okay.  I did notice some small amount of pain as the day wore on and when I had my dinner after our home teachers about 7:30 p.m. I did resume the Ibuprofan and will take my Lortab tonight before I go to bed.  I realize that I really am doing better but I also realize that total 100 % recovery will be a very long process.  I also know that I will have to keep doing some stretching and extending and flexing in order to regain and maintain proper movement in my shoulder.  I really an anxious to resume my push ups, but I admit that that scares me.  I don't believe that they caused my flare up, but I can't be sure that they didn't contribute so I intend to be extremely cautious.  I feel badly missing them, but then it was because I felt so very badly that I had to miss them.  Here's to my good health and well being.

 

I count today as about the best work day in 2 weeks.  And I have plenty of work left over to do tomorrow.  I can't say 'perfect' yet, but I will settle for really good and keep on trying one day at a time.
