Health Update

So I haven't had enough going on lately so I decided that I needed to see ONE more doctor. Since my Laparoscopic Nissen Fundiplication surgery on August 26th (7 weeks ago) I have had horrible shoulder pain. It wakes me up every night multiple times a night and I have pain all day long. At first I tought is was gas (air that was pumped inside me to perform the surgery laparoscopicly) then I thought it was referred pain in my shoulder from the surgery, your have some nerve endings in your shoulders. So after ALOT of Advil and sleeping with a heating pad for 6 weeks I decided to call my doc about it. So her referred me to an Orthopaedic Shoulder Specialist and I have a Shoulder Impingment, which is fancy talk for my rotator cuff is pinched. He gave me a BIG SHOT with a BIG NEEDLE in my SORE SHOULDER of Cortisone and I suppose to have Physical Therapy 3 times a week for 4 weeks and go back & see him. So if someone can come watch Beck for me 3 times a week for 4 weeks while Aubrey is in school it would really help me out. I have no idea how I am going to get all this PT done. BTW-I am pretty much healed from the stomach surgery-still NO REFLUX!! I am eating much smaller meals and don't eat much bread or anything doughy. Still haven't had steak or pizza...which I love and miss dearly.
