Almost An Empty Nest

I  Will admit, I do NOT like going to the doctor. After dealing with some quacks , I just believe that I know what is going on with my body m o re than someone else.But there comes a time where you have to go. Yesterday was that time for me. I have been having shoulder pain for a couple of months. I thought just over use. But, it wasn't improving. It was getting worse! So, I broke down and went to an Orthopedic specialist. Well, at 42 I was diagnosed with arthritis!!!!!!  SAY WHAT!!!!! So they are talking MRIs and surgery. Yeah right-not in my line of work! I have several families that rely on me caring for their babies so that they can work. I will lose EVERY client I have if I cannot provide care!' Right now my Dr is satisfied with cortisone injections and Celebrex.....temporarily. Yeah...looks like it will be long term
