Tuesdaying

Mum was up early this morning  as she had to head into town for her appointment.   It was foggy and cold when she left home, but the closer she  got to town the fog was clearing, she was even early and got to wander round a bookstore.   Although  she no longer buys  any  books she will take photos  if covers of ones she  is interested  in, and see if the library  has it available.

She got a steroid injection  in her sore frozen shoulder, done under ultrasound.   It was quick, only 5 minutes and sore for a couple of minutes.   Mum came home to rest after as it was quite uncomfortable  and she is not allowed  to work until Thursday.  The injection  may reduce pain and inflammation, so hopefully  mum will feel a bit better.

So it was an afternoon  of reading  her book and relaxing  with me.  The sun was out, so the windows  were open and fresh air let in.

  1. We sure hope the shot works! We know it's hit and miss with those, depending on the person and the issue. We'll cross our paws that it's a "hit" for your mum!

  2. Help mum keep that shoulder warm, Poppy. You can enjoy her company a bit while
    she waits for the injection to work and stays home with you. Love reading books
    and I am the same, look for new book titles on the store shelf and see if I can
    get them at the library free.

  5. Is your mum getting physio for her shoulder? Mum said that is what she got when hers got all frozen many years ago. It worked and now she is able to move her arm all OK.
