Hi Folks! Sorry I haven't done this in awhile. I'm still tracking my calories and exercise on a daily basis. This has been a busy school year for me, so it's been a challenge to be on here and do as much as I should, but that's not all of it.... Read more

Today has been one of those lazy days. I don't feel terrible, but I have a hard time getting motivated to do things. When I do feel like it, my arm hurts. Even though I can have it out of the sling some of the time, it didn't seem to help me ... Read more

I went to the dr. again on Monday, and the x-rays show my arm is healing. The dr. gave me one exercise to do; it's not much, but it's meant to keep my arm limber and not let it freeze up. I go back on the 28th. If it's still healing well, he ... Read more
