Subject: Being a patient patient
Dear Aunt Lisl:
I well understand your impatience with not feeling perfectly well and would react
that way myself. But we impatient patients must learn to be patient patients--
somehow!
Remember that when someone undergoes a procedure, the recovery usually
requires six weeks, at least. Bill has a very painful shoulder for which he finally
went to the doctor and learned that he has either tendonitis or a small tear in the
rotator cuff. To get back motion and reduce the pain, he has been going to a
physical therapist, has to do painful exercises,ice the shoulder twice a day, and he
was told that recovery will take SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR!
Needless to say, he is not happy about this and growls through his exercises with
great irritation..
Please keep up your spirits! We are all plugging for you!
Love,
Irene
