Good days, bad days...

Just as we blasted forward, life gave us a small set back. Just before we did the shoot at Solstice, I took a header smack into some pavement. I fell off the road, literally. After the blood dried and the cuts and scrapes healed, I still had to contend with a torn rotator cuff. It turns out the only way to regain and maintain full use of my shoulder is surgery. And if I don't do that, the results will be a life of physical limitation. Of course, as fate would have it, I injured my right arm and of course, I am a righty.

Surgery recovery sucks. For 12 days, I felt ok but needed pain meds at night and sometimes during the day. The meds prescribed make me testy!!!! Just ask Rick! I've felt rather negative the last few days. Anyway, last night I used none and today I hurt. Plus I didn't sleep. But I am feeling more positive and real today. Yay! I was also reminded to seek the source of my irritation and make amends . Ah, the root cause is identified and I am on better ground.

A once positive and spirited lady awaits the recovery point where I can be happy and pain free again. I'll be able to work with grace. I'll actually sit at my keyboard and type without pain. For now, I need some more ice. :(

Friends, it could be so much worse that I know I am truly blessed with an easy solution. Rest, Reflect, recover, rebuild. Delays are not denials. I need not fear that all is lost. Actually, everything is still in motion. Delays are not denials and there is no such thing as failure -- only feedback. Forward, at whatever rate, is still forward.
