On Friday I went and saw Dr. Small (sports medicine) to see if he can get my shoulder back in working order. Six months ago I injured my right shoulder while playing softball for an afternoon with the cast of Stunt Girl. At first I thought it was just a sore/pulled muscle but it has persisted much too long despite going to the chiropractor forever. Once I found out that our insurance works here, I made an appointment to see Dr. Small. I feel very foolish for not having gone to a doctor sooner but what can I say? You hope your body will heal itself, etc. Anyway, the good news is that with physical therapy it should be healed in a few months. I was terrified that he would tell me I'd need surgery (another reason to be scared of going). So, now I am doing daily exercises and will call the PT office on Monday to set up sessions. He also gave me exercises for my bum hip (from dance). Hooray!
Friday night I got to go to a makeup class taught by my friend Pamela Bob. We had a great time catching up and she is sooooo talented as a makeup artist. It was great to get some personal consultation on application, products and color palette. The Motives cosmetic line is really great - I've used some of their products and really liked them so I was happy to try some others and found them equally wonderful. Plus, Pamela told me she is pregnant! So exciting! A truly wonderful night.
LESSON OF THE DAY: Go to the doctor immediately - it will save you time in the healing process. Don't be an idiot.

PT's always the best choice! But maybe I'm a little biased.:) I enjoy following your NY adventures. Can't wait to see you at Christmas!
