...and the pain goes on

i have 2 physical therapy appts a week to work on restoring strength to the shoulder i broke.... as she works on the muscles and i work on the exercises, it really hurts.... i also realize that the other shoulder that i broke 2 years ago hasn't healed because the therapy was done poorly....so it i'm very sore. i have tight knots and pain in my neck and shoulder blades as they are connected to the injured shoulders. add the pain of the polymyalgia and the side effects of Arimidex which are listed as: Anxiety; Back, bone, breast, joint, pelvic pain; flu-like symptoms (tiredness; muscle aches); headache; hot flashes; sleeplessness; weakness.....
and i spend the days and nights in a lot of pain and am pretty weak. I did manage to buy my christmas tree yesterday with the help of home depot staff and my friend who has a truck....it's laying on its side on the walkway waiting for christopher to put it in the stand - a task i once could do alone.......and wish i could still do...
it's so very hard to have to ask and wait for help....
