Almost six weeks ago I wrote about being slung in a sling.  The follow up to that is I went around for a week with a fractured shoulder before breaking down (another unintentional pun) and going in to see my primary physician.  She suggested having it x-rayed again and I had my answer as to why my arm was hurting so badly.  This is the second bone I have broken in my life.  The first was my ankle in gym class when I was twelve; it still aches to this day.  I am hoping that will not be the case with my shoulder and have just started physical therapy.  I had never been before and it was almost like being in a spa.  I got heat and ice and relaxed on a table with the lights off while the therapist gently rotated my arm … and then I got home.  Oh my word I cannot believe how sore I was!  Still, I am grateful she expects me to regain full range of motion.  I look at this as an opportunity to realize never to take good health for granted.  I feel this picture is more like a Rorschach test but it is of course a model of a shoulder.  The part I fractured is by the rotator cuff in the front.  Personally, I see an elephant.  The British philosopher Alan Watts once said, “Reality is only a rorschach ink-blot, you know.”  I think his statement is a greater view for how we all see our lives.  The richest can feel impoverished and the poorest can feel the most blessed; it’s all in one’s perception.  As for me, I am too blessed to be stressed as they say.  I wish the same for you; be blessed wherever you are.  Pray for others, that they realize they are blessed, too.
