8 Weeks Post Op

So it's been 8 weeks today since I had my rotator cuff surgery and I have been going to rehab 3 days a week for 6 weeks and still have several weeks to go. I am working so hard to get back to normal and helping me to do that are two people at the rehab center. This first person is Dominic my technician, she is the one who gives me heat and ice and uses this machine that helps take the pain away and she also is the one who hooks me up to the neck traction ...everything she does are the "feel good" types of therapy. Then I have Jessica the actual Physical Therapist - she is the one who makes my therapy plan, gives me all the hard painful exercises and at the end of every session she comes to me to pull and stretch my arm to the point I want to scream ...she does all the painful stuff. Last week I made them each a necklace for all the help they give to me. Thank you ladies because of you I am feeling so much better.

Off The Hook



That's what Guy Fiere said when he reviewed  one of Las Vegas's local Bulgarian restaurants. Saturday afternoon Greg and I met our friends for a feast at Forte's. George and Petra were born and raised in Bulgaria which made it an extra treat to learn about the all about the great food from their country. Everything was great ...and believe me it felt like we ordered everything on the menu.
Forte is located at 4180 S. Rainbow- if you get a chance try it out, you won't be sorry. Check out the sign above our table.

Wicked Weather

Yesterday the skies opened up and wow! standing water up to you waist in some area's and all the cars at UNLV underwater to the top of the tires. Watch this very short video full screen, this  is one I took just outside my door - you can hear and see the rushing water down my street like a fast moving river...it was really Wicked.

Seriously Wicked



Have you seen it yet? Sunday Jerry and I met at the New Smith Center of Performing Arts in Las Vegas and saw the musical Wicked. I'm sure you know the story by now and have heard that this was the time just before Dorothy dropped in on OZ. But do you know why the Wicked witch of the west was green? and do you know who her father was? and I bet you didn't know that the "good" witch and the "wicked" witch were friends and roommates in school and in love with the same boy.
The sets, the production and the performers were all out of this world. If you haven't seen it yet it will be here until Oct.7th.
